Marcelo Bielsa fully aware of Wahbi Khazri threat

Marseille head coach Marcelo Bielsa has suggested that his side will have to play close attention to Wahbi Khazri if they are to beat Bordeaux on Sunday.

Khazri has scored four times for Ligue 1's fourth-placed side this season, and Bielsa singled out the midfielder for praise when asked about the threat posed by Bordeaux.

"They are a combative team, solid as a rock," Bielsa, whose side are currently two points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain, told reporters.

"They are difficult to play against, with lots of different tactical approaches, and have individuals who can disturb the opposition - I am thinking particularly of Wahbi Kazri."

Andre-Pierre Gignac is expected to start in attack for Marseille after battling an ankle problem this week.
