Join on Telegram Olympique de Marseille have announced their 22-man squad for the Champions League, with Amine Harit the surprise omission.
The Moroccan midfielder, a regular starter in recent seasons, was not included in Roberto De Zerbi’s list submitted to UEFA. The decision has raised questions over his future at the club, with reports suggesting he could consider his options in the next transfer window.
Marseille have not given a reason for leaving Harit out, but the move has caused surprise among supporters. The 28-year-old has been one of OM’s most reliable performers since joining in 2020, contributing goals and creativity from midfield.

There was more positive news for Moroccan football, however. Young midfielder Bilal Nadir has made the squad after an impressive start to the Ligue 1 campaign, registering two assists in the opening matches.

De Zerbi’s squad includes experienced names such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mason Greenwood and Benjamin Pavard, alongside several younger players.
The full list:
Goalkeepers: Geronimo Rulli, Jeffrey De Lange.
Defenders: CJ Egan-Riley, Leonardo Balerdi, Nayef Aguerd, Benjamin Pavard, Facundo Medina, Emerson Palmieri, Amir Murillo.
Midfielders: Angel Gomes, Matt O’Riley, Arthur Vermeeren, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Hamed Traoré, Timothy Weah, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Bilal Nadir.
Forwards: Amine Gouiri, Mason Greenwood, Igor Paixão, Robinho Vaz, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
