- Thorisdottir considers leaving Marseille after brawl
- Conflict erupts during a friendly match, Thorisdottir leaves
- Former Chelsea defender is now reflecting on her future in Norway
The friendly, played last Wednesday in Barcelona, ended with a 2-1 victory for Marseille. However, the match was marred by a furious argument in the dying moments, sparked by a controversial goal by Roselene Khezami. The Spanish team, Esporti Europa, felt the goal should have been ruled offside, leading to tensions that escalated into a full-scale confrontation, leaving Thorisdottir deeply unsettled, according to Provence.
Following the incident, Thorisdottir immediately left Marseille’s training camp in Girona, Spain. The Norwegian defender, who had only just been officially signed by the club on Monday, decided to return to her home country to reflect on the events and contemplate her future at the club. The decision to leave came after several discussions with Marseille’s coaching staff.
On the men’s side, Marseille’s season had already been overshadowed by controversy after a defeat to Rennes in the Ligue 1 opener. The loss was followed by an explosive incident involving two key players, Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe, who were involved in a physical altercation. The situation quickly escalated, forcing the club to suspend both players and place them on the transfer list as part of disciplinary measures.
Marseille are scheduled to face Levante this Saturday, and it is yet to be seen whether Thorisdottir will be available for selection.
