Rayan Cherki will not participate in the fiery Olympico which will pit OL, last in Ligue 1, against OM, this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.) at the Stade Vélodrome. Released at half-time during Les Gones’ last match against Clermont (J9, 1-2) by Fabio Grosso, the Lyon attacking midfielder is not injured and his absence is the result of a choice by the coach, according to our team. information.
OL communicated their squad for Sunday’s match around 8 p.m., without specifying the reasons for Cherki’s absence. The French Espoirs international trained normally on Saturday and is expected on Sunday at the Olympique Lyonnais training center for a session planned with the players not called up for the match against OM.
Author of high quality performances with the Bleuets (5 goals, 3 assists in 4 matches under the mandate of Thierry Henry), Cherki has never been decisive this season with OL, and has even lost his starting place since the arrival at the club of Fabio Grosso on September 18.
This decision follows an eventful start to the week within the Rhone club. Wishing to unearth “a mole” in his locker room who would have revealed to RMC that “experienced, even very experienced players” would consider him one of the “most lousy” coaches they had” in the words of Jérôme Rothen, Fabio Grosso canceled training last Tuesday.
“We spoke with the players. For me, the locker room is something sacred. Things from the locker room shouldn’t come out. This is the place where we build our future,” declared the Italian technician at a press conference the day before the match.
