Bad news within the ranks of the French champions' club, as team defender Souleymane Diawara will miss more than a month due to injury.

The 31-year-old footballer suffered the injury during the country's Super Cup match against "PSG", which "Marseille" won on penalties.

It is believed that Diawara will return to the lineup around mid-September.
