Marseille's preparations are underway without one of their key attacking assets. Amine Gouiri missed Friday's training session, and the reason for his absence remains unclear, raising questions ahead of the match against Toulouse.

At this moment, there is no indication whether it is a physical issue, a simple rest, or another reason. The Algerian forward remains one of the standout players of this early Olympian season, and his potential absence would complicate preparations for a match that Marseille aims to approach with their best forces.

This uncertainty comes as Gouiri has recently excelled in two crucial performances in the league. He scored during the victory against Angers (5-2), and the former Rennes player then provided an assist against Le Havre in a thrilling match that ended 4-3. He played 78 minutes against the Normans.

Genesio is expected to have news by Sunday. If his absence is confirmed, he will need to adjust his attacking strategy against a TFC side that will have nothing to lose at the Vélodrome. An update is anticipated in the coming hours, either through a statement or during the pre-match press conference.
