Marseille faces injury setback as Hojbjerg exits Denmark match early
Summary

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg left the field after 10 minutes in Denmark's match against Wales, adding to Olympique de Marseille's injury list. The team has already lost Derek Cornelius for the remainder of the year due to a hip injury sustained while on international duty. Amine Gouiri and Himad Abdellli also picked up injuries, but they are expected to feature against ESTAC Troyes next weekend. Hojbjerg's thigh injury raises concerns about his availability, as Marseille faces a potential lack of midfield options. Tochukwu Nnadi may return, but Geoffrey Kondogbia remains unavailable for selection.
