Amine Harit just can’t catch a break. The Moroccan playmaker was finally finding his feet in the Olympique de Marseille squad, but has suffered yet another injury. French reports revealed that Harit hurt his ankle in training – a brutal setback that would keep him in the treatment room after months on the sidelines.
Marseille have stayed tight-lipped on how long Harit will be out, but the timing couldn’t be worse. The 26-year-old last played on October 27 in OM’s humiliating loss at home to arch-rivals PSG.
Harit had been gearing up for a long-awaited return. He was even called up for recent games against FC Nantes and AJ Auxerre. But fate had other plans.
Marseille have tied Harit to a contract that runs until 2027, but now may reconsider his future at the club. He is among the top earners at the club, and the club might mull to transfer him away to cut their losses.
Meanwhile, OM manager Roberto De Zerbi is scrambling to fill the gaps. The squad is already stretched thin with key players like Faris Moumbagna and Robinio Vaz still recovering, and right-back Amir Murillo ruled out for weeks with a thigh injury.
De Zerbi called this injury crisis a problem in Friday’s press conference ahead of tomorrow’s game against 9th-ranked Lens in Ligue 1.
