Himad Abdelli injury raises concern at Marseille

Marseille face concern over Himad Abdelli after the attacking midfielder was listed with a back injury and a dead leg.

Olympique Marseille are facing concern over Himad Abdelli after the attacking midfielder was listed with a back injury and a dead leg. No recovery timetable has been provided, leaving the extent of the 26-year-old’s absence unclear. The injury update is the latest development affecting one of Marseille’s attacking midfield options.

Abdelli is currently a Marseille player after joining from Angers SCO during the 2025-26 season in a transfer valued at €2.75 million. His market value is listed at €5 million. He is eligible to represent both Algeria and France, and his position is recorded as attacking midfield. The available information does not indicate whether either injury will prevent him from appearing in Marseille’s next match.

The move to Marseille followed a progression through French football. Abdelli transferred from Le Havre AC to Angers in the 2022-23 season after earlier moving from Le Havre B to Le Havre AC in 2018-19. His first listed step came from Le Havre’s under-19 side to the club’s reserve team in 2017-18. He has since reached Marseille at the age of 26, but his immediate focus is now recovery from the back problem and dead leg recorded in his medical status.
