-For me, he is not in good physical shape to play. Mason is a crucial player for us. We need Mason. He has to be in good physical shape, that’s very important at this time of year,” De Zerbi told DAZN.
Last week, La Provence reported Greenwood had returned to Marseille for extra training, a signal that the Englishman took the criticism seriously. However, according to the French media, it is not certain that De Zerbi will not send the 23-year-old to the transfer market this summer. Greenwood will have two months to show he will return to his best form and win back the trust of the coach.
