Ismaël Koné is not expected to play any part as Olympique de Marseille head down the coast to face OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday night.

In his pre-match press conference, Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that the Canada international was on his way out of the club, just six months after joining from Watford. The Italian was frank in his assessment that Koné did not currently have the level to play for Marseille and so he is nearing a move away. The midfielder did not participate in training ahead of the encounter and won’t be included in the matchday squad to face Nice.
