Author of his first two goals in a Marseille shirt last weekend against Troyes (3-1), Vittinha is uncertain about the clash against OL on Sunday (32nd day of Ligue 1, 8:45pm). Igor Tudor said on Friday that the Portuguese striker had suffered “physical problems this week”.
Vitinha may not have the opportunity to continue. Author of his first two goals last weekend during OM’s victory over Troyes in the Velodrome (3-1), the 23-year-old Portuguese striker is sure to shock in the top of Day 32 of Ligue 1 on Sunday against Lyon (8:45 pm).

Still very young, he’s got a lot of room for improvement, Tudor details. Technically, he might have to learn to protect the ball better. He’s gained muscle mass. He’s generous in the box, he can He has broken through the defence, and can be found at the right time. We are very happy, and hope he continues like this.”
And in front of the media, the Croatian technician also indicated the uncertainty about Nuno Tavares. “Nuno took a hit, we’ll see if he’s available on Sunday or not,” Tudor said. Facing Troyes, the Portuguese side spent the meeting on the bench.
