OM-Olympiacos: why Genesio won't rotate in Europa League

Genesio will field a largely unchanged XI against Olympiacos, prioritising continuity and building momentum after ending a five-game losing streak.

Olympique Marseille manager Bruno Genesio confirmed in a pre-match press conference on Wednesday that he will not significantly rotate his squad for Thursday's Europa League fixture against Olympiacos (21:00). After winning 2-0 against Troyes on Sunday to end a five-match losing streak, Genesio wants to maintain the same starting XI to build confidence and positive momentum. Despite facing eight matches in a month before the next international break, the French manager believes continuity is key to starting a winning run, particularly after OM's heavy 4-1 defeat to Besiktas in their opening Europa League game.
