OL travel to Toulouse this Sunday (3 p.m.) and Pierre Sage has made some strong decisions for the occasion. Thus, Gift Orban, although in good shape, is left aside.
We know it: with the overloaded schedules that await clubs, coaches sometimes have to make surprising decisions and leave out players. Pierre Sage had announced it: he would rotate, and without trying to please his players.
Thus, for the trip to Toulouse this Sunday as part of the 6th day of Ligue 1, the OL coach made decisions that are controversial. Two players who were thought to be important are left out. Ernest Nuamah (20 years old), first: the former RWDM “ghost” record transfer, who played 81 minutes in Europe against Olympiakos, is absent.
It must be said that the Ghanaian is not a starter in the league: this is already the second time this season that he has been left out of the core in Ligue 1, where he has made 3 appearances including two appearances in 6 days.
The other absent is more surprising since it concerns Gift Orban (22 years old), the former La Gantoise striker. The Nigerian has scored 2 goals this season, making him the co-top scorer for Les Gones; However, Pierre Sage decided to do without it. And Orban had already remained on the bench in the Europa League…
Olympique Lyonnais is having a very complicated start to the season and is currently 15th in Ligue 1, just above the relegation zone. Not ideal for a club which, according to its owner John Textor, should “play for the title”…
