Tim Weah and Marseille will get their first chance to win silverware this season on Thursday, with the American taking on his former club.
Marseille will take on Paris Saint-Germain in the French Super Cup final in Kuwait in the second meeting between the two clubs this season. Roberto De Zerbi’s men defeated the reigning Ligue 1 champions 1-0 in September and will look to take their chances in a one-off match against the current league leaders.
Weah has made 20 appearances this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. The US Men’s National Team winger has played a big role in his first season with the club and is showing his versatility every week.
After a weekend defeat at home to Nantes, Weah and his Marseille teammates will certainly be looking for a bounce-back performance.
