Marseille winger Timothy Weahhas thrown his support behind Tochukwu Nnadi ahead of the club’s Ligue 1 clash against Nantes.
Weah will miss the game after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season, forcing the team into a change for the weekend fixture.
Speaking ahead of the match, he expressed confidence that Nnadi can step in and do a solid job.
“Who’s going to replace me with my suspension?” Weah said as per Massilia Zone.
“There are plenty of players. Nnadi, he’s going to do the team a lot of good, he’s quick. We all saw him in the last match. I see him perfectly filling that role.”
It’s a big vote of confidence for the young Nigerian, who has been gradually finding his feet.
Nnadi may not be a regular starter yet, but he has shown signs of promise whenever called upon. His pace and willingness to take on players give Marseille another option, especially in games where they need direct attacking play.
The clash against Nantes won’t be an easy one.
At this stage of the season, every point matters, and Marseille will be looking to stay on track with their targets. That puts more responsibility on whoever steps in.
For Nnadi, this could be one of those moments.
A chance to show what he can do… and maybe give the coach something to think about going forward.
