EXCL: Super Eagles’ Nnadi set to feature for Marseille, travels to Spain

Olympique Marseille have taken Super Eagles’ Tochukwu Nnadi along with the rest of the squad to Spain as part of a special training camp aimed at sharpening focus after a poor run of results, Afrik Foot reports.

Information reaching Afrik Foot Nigeria indicates that the Nigerian midfielder travelled mainly for team bonding and tactical preparation, with the camp organised following Marseille’s recent setbacks — defeats to Stade Brestois 29 and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as a draw against RC Strasbourg.

The club has adopted this approach after consecutive losses, temporarily relocating training to help reset the squad mentally and physically.

Why Marseille moved training to Spain

Marseille are currently in Spain, where sessions focus on unity and match preparation ahead of their next Ligue 1 fixture.

Sources say the trip is not linked to any injury concerns for Nnadi but rather part of a broader strategy to reintegrate the squad after a turbulent period marked by heavy defeats and internal pressure.

The decision comes after Marseille suffered a 2–0 loss to Brest, a 5–0 hammering by PSG, and a 2–2 draw with Strasbourg, which left the coaching staff searching for solutions ahead of their next big test against Olympique Lyon.

Super Eagles player could get chance against Lyon or Toulouse

Afrik Foot Nigeria further understands that Nnadi is now closer to making his Marseille debut.

Depending on how the team performs in the first half against Lyon, the Super Eagles midfielder could be considered for a second-half appearance — if he is included in the matchday squad.

However, sources suggest that a more realistic opportunity may come in Marseille’s following fixture against Toulouse FC, where squad rotation is expected as the club looks to stabilise results and test new options in midfield.

After weeks of waiting on the sidelines since his arrival from Zulte Waregem, the Spain training camp could prove decisive for Nnadi’s Marseille future—with his long-awaited debut now firmly within reach.
