Habib Beye ‘happy’ with Marseille’s CJ Egan-Riley despite injury
Habib Beye ‘happy’ with Marseille’s CJ Egan-Riley despite injury Olympique de Marseille manager Habib Beye said that he was satisfied with CJ Egan-Riley’s performance against Monaco, despite being defeated on Sunday evening. Beye also revealed that the Englishman has picked up a thigh injury, which throws doubt over his involvement against Metz next weekend. “Leonardo Balerdi only trained once in the build-up to the game,” said Beye at a press conference attended by Get French Football News .
“We were really happy with CJ before the match and we didn’t want to take a risk with the yellow cards and injuries. ” “ He played really well on the ball,” added Beye on the former Burnley man’s performance. “I told him he would be under pressure from Balogun and I thought he dealt with it well all the time.
Unfortunately, he injured himself himself which is bad because I think he is a very good option for us. We don’t know for how long we will lose him. ” Egan-Riley has had a mixed season so far for OM but started his second Ligue 1 match since Habib Beye took charge of the side.
An England U21 international, Egan-Riley is also eligible to play for the Irish national team. GFFN | George Boxall – reporting from Stade Louis II, Monaco
