It was expected, it is confirmed.
Hit in the thigh against Lens last Wednesday (2-2), for his first outing with OM, Arkadiusz Milik forfeited the Classic, this Sunday (9 pm), during the 24th day of Ligue 1. The Polish international striker The 26-year-old is not part of the squad called up by Nasser Larguet (see below), who hadn't been used since ... the end of last season in Napoli.

Marseille nevertheless expects a lot from this great fellow, scorer at Bollaert and who arrives in the turbulent context that we know.
"We joked about it on Saturday (last week, after the invasion of the Commandery by angry supporters, editor's note), I welcomed him to OM, smiles Steve Mandanda, asked about his new teammate on Friday last, at a press conference.
But he also had a few stories like that with Napoli, a club that looks a lot like OM.
He has a strong personality, a lot of character and experience.
It did not destabilize him, quite the contrary.
Today, we are happy to have him with us because he is a profile and a quality player.
He demonstrated it against Lens.
I hope he will help us as best as possible at the end of the season. ”
In any case, not against Paris ...
Amavi package, Benedetto, Thauvin and Alvaro summoned
Jordan Amavi will also be missed for this 100th duel between the two historic rivals of French football.
Ditto for the newcomer, Olivier Ntcham, just arrived from Celtic Glasgow and whose recruitment pushed André Villas-Boas to submit his resignation at the beginning of the week.
Florian Thauvin, Dario Benedetto and other Alvaro Gonzalez were not in training on Friday, but they are called up.
To see if they are able to start, or perhaps only to enter during the game against Paris Saint-Germain.
The same goes for Valentin Rongier, who had trained for him on Friday but who has been hampered by physical problems in recent weeks.

OM have won only one of their last ten matches in all competitions and are in ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings before facing third-placed PSG.
Recall that the Marseillais ended a series of 20 games without a win against Paris by winning at the Parc des Princes last September (0-1), as part of the championship.
Neymar and company, on the other hand, beat them last January, in Lens, for the victory of the Champions Trophy (2-1).
It will therefore already be the third opposition between the two clubs this season.
