Weah Captains Marseille in Season Opener Win

USMNT winger Tim Weah captained Olympique de Marseille to a 4-0 victory over Strasbourg in the Ligue 1 season opener, playing the full 90 minutes at right back.

Tim Weah, a key player for the US men's national team, has been appointed captain of Marseille by new manager Bruno Génésio. The American winger completed his permanent transfer to the French club in June after joining on loan last season.

Meanwhile, fellow USMNT midfielder Gio Reyna made his Strasbourg debut as a substitute against Marseille, playing 21 minutes. Reyna recently joined the club from Borussia Dortmund and wears the coveted No. 10 jersey. rocore.sbs
