According to La Provence, Jonathan Clauss (31) could be set for a one-month absence. It is a big blow for Olympique de Marseille, who are in the midst of an injury crisis with some big fixtures coming up. Clauss suffered a hamstring tear during France’s 3-2 victory over Chile at the Vélodrome on Tuesday. The former RC Lens full-back was forced off in the 11th minute. He then underwent further tests on Wednesday, according to La Provence. Those tests have been able to determine a period of absence, which is estimated to be between three and four weeks.
Jonathan Clauss devrait rater quelques gros matches. Notamment, il manquera le Classique de dimanche contre le Paris Saint-Germain, ainsi que la double confrontation en UEFA Europa League contre Benfica. Son absence s’ajoute à une crise à l’OM. Bamo Meïte, Amir Murillo, Ulisses Garcia et Samuel Gigot sont tous blessés, tandis que Leonardo Balerdi n’est pas à plein régime non plus, laissant les Phocéens avec seulement deux défenseurs totalement aptes à affronter le PSG.
