OM: tension on the pistons

They’ve done so well so far that a little rest wouldn’t hurt. Still crucial in recent days against Toulouse and Montpellier for the post-World Cup restart, Jonathan Klaus (two assists) and Nuno Tavares (two goals) will have to be replaced for some time.

The Portuguese owes an enforced rest only to himself: if he opens the scoring on Monday night at Stade Musson (47^e), and then stupidly ruled out by Rudy Bouquet (86^e). Reason(s): An ugly and useless brush on Arnaud Souquet in the Montpellier penalty area, followed by an altercation with Christopher Jullien. After giving him two zeros for these two actions, the referee of the meeting finally sent him a straight red card for the first signal. This will change a lot of things when Tavares is heard by the LFP Disciplinary Committee.

In addition, He’s out of his mind, and he’s going to take a good fine from the club said Igor Tudor after the meeting. “ I hope he learns his lesson (…) This does not hide his very good second half. “Young left press (he will turn 23 on January 26th) on loan from Arsenal is not his first attempt. He has already received a one-match ban for accumulating yellow cards, one of which could have earned him a red (ankle tackle on Mager v Rennes, September 18th) He was also on the verge of being left out for the celebration match against AC Milan on July 31: he barely entered the match (46^e), saved by VAR for an offside situation by Junior Messias, before Tavares fouled – for real – in the position of the last defender (48′).^e).

Less tense but just as effective as his counterpart on the left, Jonathan Klaus will have to breathe, too. He came out injured, touched the adductors, but Tuesday’s exams are reassuring (stretching, not tearing), notes RMC Sport. The 30-year-old right-handed press suffered a calf muscle injury at the end of September. This forced him to leave quickly against Sporting Portugal (October 4) and miss the arrival of Ajaccio (October 8). He should not play the role of 32^e Coupe de France final against Hyères on Saturday.

Without his clay presses, Igor Tudor still has some interesting solutions. to me On the left, Sead Kolasinac is in good shape and should logically replace Tavares, especially since the return of Eric Bailly and Samuel Gigot enhances competition in the center of defence. to me True, Issa Kabore does not have the performance of Klaus but the Burkinabé, who is only 21 years old, is just asking for playing time.
