Three Olympique Marseille players were the victims of an attempted car-jacking on Monday morning as they returned to Marseille following their 2-1 victory over Le Havre AC on the final day of the season.
As per La Provence, Cameroonian players Jean Onana, 24, Faris Moumbagna, 23, and Ivory Coast footballer Bamo Meite, 22, were in a convoy of vehicles travelling from the club's training centre when they were targeted by criminals intent on stealing their cars.

The three African players were shot at as they escaped their attackers, and fortunately, none of them were injured. Two bullet holes were seen in the driver's side door of one of the cars, while another car was hit in the trunk.
Marseille's prosecution has ordered an investigation, and the police are still looking for the perpetrators who managed to flee the scene.
