Nnadi set for Marseille return

Super Eagles midfielder, Tochukwu Nnadi, is in line to make his return for Olympique de Marseille this weekend after recovering from a knee injury.

Nnadi has endured a frustrating start to the 2026/27 season, with the 23-year-old making just two substitute appearances for the French giants before the injury setback.

The former Botev Plovdiv player picked up the knee injury before the October international break, forcing him to miss out on a possible spot in the Super Eagles squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.

Latest reports indicate that the 2025 AFCON bronze medallist has now recovered fully from the injury, as the former Zulte Waregem midfielder is in contention for a place when Marseille travel to face Troyes in Ligue 1 this weekend.

The absence of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who returned from international duty with an injury after representing Denmark, could also increase Nnadi’s chance of featuring against Troyes.

With Marseille looking to respond after a difficult run of results, Nnadi could get an opportunity to make his case for more regular involvement under Bruno Genesio.

The Imo State-born lad has established himself as an important option for the national team since making his senior debut during the 2025 AFCON earlier this year.
