Yahoo Sports Chancel Mbemba makes Marseille return following summer dispute
Chancel Mbemba (30) has returned to training with the Olympique de Marseille first team.
Mbemba had been training with the reserves following a summer in which Marseille had been keen to part with the Congolese international. The club had placed him in the βloftβ as they tried to encourage their defender to find a new team and free themselves of a high-earning contract that was entering its final year.
After being a key player in the Marseille squad since joining the club from FC Porto in 2022, Mbemba was unimpressed by his new situation. There was a reported argument between him and a member of the backroom staff Ali Zarrak to which the defender was sanctioned.
