Marseille get passports out to prepare CL return

French giants Marseille have not been involved in European competition this season but such is their determination to get back onto the continental stage that coach Roberto De Zerbi and his players are already embarking on some foreign travel.

De Zerbi has been dissatisfied with his team's performances in recent weeks, even though Marseille are second in the Ligue I table with four games remaining, meaning they are on course to qualify for next season's Champions League.

They had suffered five defeats in seven games before last week’s 5-1 home win over bottom side Montpellier, and the five teams immediately beneath them in the standings are all currently within four points.
