Marseille evaluates Weah's position

Olympique de Marseille is considering a potential change in the role of right-back Timothy Weah, who has struggled since the start of the season. The 26-year-old American international is being evaluated by coach Bruno Genesio to play on the right flank of the attack. Genesio confirmed the possibility during a press conference on Wednesday, the day before Marseille's Europa League match against Olympiakos.

Weah's original position and new idea

Weah was originally trained as a forward, with a preferred position as a central forward, according to Genesio. Moving him higher on the field could provide more offensive freedom and offer a new solution on the right side. The repositioning is also made possible by the recent performance of young full-back Kelyann Bezahafa, who impressed in a 2-0 win against Troyes.

Bezahafa's impact and squad needs

Genesio highlighted Bezahafa's response as a positive development, noting the need for young players given the squad's current limitations. The young full-back's performance has created an opportunity to explore different formations and roles within the team. This flexibility could allow Weah to play in a more attacking position if it benefits the team's overall strategy.

Weah's interest and possible consequences

According to RMC, Weah is attracted by the prospect of playing higher up. This change could lead to Amine Harit being repositioned in the center, while Angel Gomes has not fully satisfied in the playmaker role. No decisions have been made yet, but the reflection is ongoing. Genesio now has a new option to find the right formula for the team.
