Marseille Team News:

• Marseille’s only summer signing of the season, Dario Benedetto is expected to miss the game against Stade Reims.

• While 26-year-old French winger Florian Thauvin remains a doubt due to a thigh injury. He hasn’t featured for Marseille in the pre-season since coming off against Rangers last month.

Possible INs and OUTs of this game:

• With Benedetto out, Valere Germain should start up front for the hosts.
• Andre Villas-Boas is making a comeback to football after a gap of almost three years. It will be interesting to see how he sets up his team in this game.
• But we expect him to deploy Dimitri Payet in a no-10 role, with either Nemanja Radonjic or Luiz Gustavo on the left-wing.
• Kevin Strootman and Morgan Sanson are expected to be in the starting 11 as well.
• If Thauvin fails to shake off the knock in time, Bouna Sarr is expected to take his place on the right-wing.

André Villas-Boas has named his full squad to open the @Ligue1_ENG season against @StadeDeReims tomorrow.
