Forward Andre Ayew will miss the return encounter with Inter Milan if he incurs a booking when both sides clash in the Uefa Champions League on Wednesday.
The Ghana international who has evolved to become one of Marseille's important players will have to be on his guard not to attract a caution for he is already carrying a yellow card going into the round of 16 tie at the Stade Vélodrome .
Marseille also risk losing Alou Diarra, Morgan Amalfitano and Jérémy Morel for the second leg fixture with all of them on a booking.
The 1993 winners hope to go one step further this season after being dumped out of the competition at the same stage by Manchester United on a 2-1 aggregate score.
