Closer to return Mukiele (hamstring) is getting closer to a return to the squad but is doubtful for Sunday's trip to Marseille. Manager Christophe Galtier said Thursday "Nordi Mukiele very close to... Impact Mukiele has been sidelined since January with a knee injury but is inching closer to a return to the lineup. He has been an important utility player for the team, totaling three assists, 15 crosses (two accurate) and 27 tackles (21 won) from both the midfield and defense. With Nuno Mendes and Marquinhos also dealing with injuries, the team would love to get Mukiele back on the pitch. However if he cannot recover in time, Vitinha will see some more minutes on the field.
