Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly believes he is finally free from injuries, which have interrupted his loan spell at Marseille.
As reported by Sport Witness, Bailly is confident he can finish the season strongly in France after recovering from another injury.
The Ivorian said he had a problem at the start of the season during a game against PSG and later in a Champions League match where he knew he was not at the physical level he needed.
“I had a physical problem against PSG. I tried to play the game against Tottenham, but it was too early and the injury came back, ”he said.
However, Bailly is now convinced the injury is behind him, having worked closely with the Marseille medical staff.
“Now, it’s fixed. I did important work with the medical staff.”
The defender admitted he has been frustrated by the injury but now hopes to play a key role in Marseille’s push for the Ligue 1 title.
“There is frustration, but I have already experienced complicated situations. I hope to be available to the coach until the end of the season, ”he added.
Marseille are currently well placed in the title race, just five points behind leaders PSG after suffering just one defeat in 12 league games.
PSG visit the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday night in what could prove to be a pivotal game for the Ligue 1 title fate.
On a personal note, Bailly’s future beyond this season remains unclear with Erik ten Hag well supplied with central defenders at Old Trafford.
Bailly will be desperate to prove himself in the second half of the season for Marseille, in what will likely be more of a showcase opportunity to avoid returning to Manchester.
