Member of the LOSC squad, Mohamed Bayo was the big absence of the weekend in the North. His sidelining was commented on by Bruno Genesio this Saturday, following the point (1-1) shared with FC Nantes.
Likely to reach the podium in the event of victory, LOSC missed the boat this Saturday, in its opposition with FC Nantes of Matthis Abline, author of the equalizing goal from the penalty spot (1-1). Despite possession of the leather (71% to 29%), the Mastiffs were little inspired offensively, hampered from the first minutes of the match by the premature exit due to injury of Matias Fernandez-Pardo (10'). The Lille game, usually so varied, then became poorer, as did the solutions present on the sidelines. And for good reason, in addition to the Belgian, Bruno Genesio had not called Mohamed Bayo (26 years old) for this game.
The Lille infirmary has five members, but no trace of the Lille attacker, sidelined by choice by the Lille technician. The latter, who did not mention a departure during this winter transfer window, was invited to comment on his absence at the final whistle: “For the moment, I have not had any information that he wants to leave the club.
It was a choice in this match compared to what I saw in training. For the moment, I have no other information regarding a possible departure of Momo. Is his attitude a problem? In this match, I felt that others deserved more”he told the media. It was Aaron Malouda, not the slightest appearance with the professional group this season, who took advantage of his absence to find a place in the Lille squad this weekend.
Jonathan David (24), top scorer in Ligue 1, was therefore the only alternative at the forefront of the LOSC attack. Like the last meetings before the break, he logically remained silent even though he did not hit the goal once. This is a rare fact that needs to be noted.
