It was Pablo Longoria who announced it this Tuesday at a press conference.
According to the president of Olympique de Marseille, “the trend is that Amine Harit [is] unavailable for the rest of the season”.
The Moroccan international midfielder suffered a cruciate ligament sprain in his left knee in an involuntary collision with AS Monaco defender Axel Disasi on Sunday during Marseille's victory at Louis-II (2-3), in the League 1.
Released on a stretcher, the player immediately understood that the Atlas Lions would play the World Cup in Qatar without him.
"It's a blow for the player and the club," said Longoria.
He represents a lot for the locker room, its atmosphere.

“Not agreed at the moment” for Gerson
The Marseille president announced the arrival of an attacking reinforcement in the winter transfer window to replace Harit, while Gerson returned home to negotiate a return to Flamengo.
“He is an OM player, insisted Longoria.
He is in Brazil with our agreement, we are in negotiations but there is no agreement at the moment.

In addition, the Marseille president also revealed that, if "the trend is rather good" on the economic level, OM must "find 5 million euros".
“The impact of European competitions is significant.
Qualification for the Europa League would have brought in 5 million euros.
In the Champions League it would have been much more.
“The club and its supporters have not finished rehashing the appalling epilogue of the last group match of C1 against Tottenham (1-2).
