In addition to upsetting OL on the field by obtaining a draw last Saturday (0-0), Toulouse tried to harm the Rhone club on an administrative level by placing a reservation on the qualification of Thiago Almada.
Present on the match sheet, the Argentine midfielder did not play against TFC, which did not prevent the club chaired by Damien Comoli from filing a reservation with the LFP. The case of the former Botafogo player, who arrived thanks to a free loan despite a recruitment ban pronounced by the DNCG, aroused the annoyance of several OL opponents including TFC who had surprised everyone by filing a reserve. On Monday, the LFP had received the complaint from Toulouse but this Friday, Le Progrès tells us that the legal commission of the League rejected it. And for good reason, Thiago Almada's contract had been approved after consultation with the DNCG. Olympique Lyonnais therefore does not risk any sanctions on this issue and nothing now prevents Pierre Sage from using his flagship recruit of the winter transfer window, from Sunday afternoon in Nantes if he wishes.
