Olympique de Marseille midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi has opted for a conservative treatment protocol following a knee injury sustained during a match against Monaco. Despite medical staff recommending surgery as the safest option, Nnadi and his entourage decided against the procedure to avoid a multi-month absence from the pitch.

Nnadi is reportedly targeting an ambitious return for the match against Paris Saint-Germain on September 20. While some projections suggest a more realistic return might occur by October 11, the decision to forgo surgery remains a gamble intended to shorten his recovery time. The injury has created challenges for coach Bruno Genesio, who faces limited midfield options during a demanding schedule.
