Pierre Sage, the Lyon coach, took severe action against one of his players, guilty of an offense towards the club.
Lyon will challenge Lille on Friday evening, as part of the 10e day of Ligue 1. A meeting that Les Gones will not tackle in full. Elements will be missing and among them is Nigerian striker Gift Orban.
The former Gantoise player pays for his controversial message on Instagram after the OL-Auxerre meeting (2-2), according to what RMC Sport reports. Scorer for Auxerre against his training club, Sinaly Diomandé posted a message on Instagram after his achievement. Among the responses to the central defender was that of Gift Orban: “Top” (accompanied by flames). The Lyon institution judged that it was a provocation against him.
OL do not forgive their player
Orban, however, apologized for having acted badly:
“Excuse me OL fans, it was by mistake that I made this comment. It's just to encourage my friend. I didn't even see that this is the photo from our match. […] We work hard to win matches and trophies. For OL, I'm sorry. THANKS. »
We thought the club would stay there, but that wasn't the case. In addition to the sidelining imposed by Sage, Orban could see his ethics bonus withdrawn. We don't mess around with discipline and respect for the badge at Groupama Stadium.
The absence of Obran is not a huge disadvantage for OL on a sporting level. He only played four games out of nine in the league, scoring two goals in the process. It was during the draw against Strasbourg.
