Cissé sidelined for OM's Žilina trip

Olympique de Marseille face MŠK Žilina in UEFA Champions League Group F this week without Édouard Cissé because of a hamstring injury.

Cissé, who has featured in all three of OM's group stage games so far, picked up the knock during the 1-0 French League Cup win against EA Guingamp on 27 October. Subsequent scans revealed a torn muscle but coach Didier Deschamps hopes to have the 32-year-old back at his disposal for Sunday evening's Ligue 1 trip to Paris Saint-Germain FC, one of Cissé's former employers.

Marseille travel to Slovakia for Wednesday's game with three points and will face a Žilina team yet to get off the mark on their competition debut. Chelsea FC lead the section with a maximum nine points, while FC Spartak Moskva are three adrift in second.
