Marseille lose defender ahead of Bilbao game
Marseille right-back Brice Dja Djedje will miss Thursday's Europa League game against Atletic Bilbao due to a thigh strain the Ligue 1 club said on Monday. "He won't be back in the squad for at least three weeks," a Marseille statement said. The 25-year-old Ivory Coast international limped out of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Nice and was replaced by Alayxis Romao. The blow comes ahead of Thursday's Europa League last-32, first-leg match in Marseille.
