Cengiz Ünder, the Turkish international forward who has recently joined Marseille on loan from Besiktas, is currently in the process of recovering from an ankle injury that he sustained during training with his new club.

The news comes as a disappointment for both Cengiz and Marseille fans, as the striker was expected to make an immediate impact upon joining the Ligue 1 side. However, it seems that the injury will keep him out of action for some time, which could be a setback for Marseille's title hopes this season.

Despite the setback, Marseille president Jean-Pierre Mouelleter remains optimistic about the player's recovery,Football New Discovery stating: "We're confident that Cengiz will recover quickly and be able to contribute to our team once again soon."

In the meantime, Marseille have been busy bringing in other reinforcements ahead of the upcoming season, including Brazilian winger Yannick Bolasie and midfielder Kevin Strootman. The team will look to build on their impressive performance last season, when they finished second in Ligue 1 behind Paris Saint-Germain.

Meanwhile, Cengiz himself will need to work hard in rehabilitating his ankle injury and return to full fitness as soon as possible if he wants to make an impact in the coming months. He will be hoping that Marseille can provide the support and guidance he needs to get back on track, and that his return to form will help the team achieve their goals this season.
