Mason Greenwood’s injury has led to his exclusion from the Marseille lineup against Nice. This absence raises questions about how it will impact the team’s performance in the upcoming match.
Marseille currently sits in sixth place in Ligue 1, while Nice is struggling in a fourth-from-bottom position. Their previous head-to-head encounter ended with Marseille dominating Nice, winning 5-1.
Marseille’s last league game resulted in a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Lorient. In contrast, Nice managed a goalless draw against LOSC Lille. Both teams have struggled recently, with Marseille recording four wins, five losses, and one draw in their last ten league games.
Habib Beye, Marseille’s coach, commented on Greenwood’s condition: “Mason we have looked at since the start of the week, he is very limited by the injury from Lille.” He added, “It’s been two games that he’s played with a lot of pain; we can’t put him in danger.”
In terms of scoring, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Amine Gouiri lead Marseille with three goals each. Tom Louchet is Nice’s top scorer with two goals. However, both teams have struggled to convert chances into goals—Marseille averages 1.2 goals from 4.8 shots on goal in their last ten league outings.
The stakes are high as both teams look to improve their standings. Marseille will aim to capitalize on Nice’s recent poor form while also trying to adapt without Greenwood. Officials have not confirmed who will replace him in the lineup.
The match kicks off at Stade Vélodrome at 13:45 on April 26, 2026. With both teams eager for points, fans can expect an intense battle on the pitch.
