Wilfried Zaha is not yet certain of returning to Pierre Sage’s squad for the Olympique Lyonnais match on Sunday afternoon in Le Havre. OL have their attacker in the crosshairs.
The Lyon coach decided to do without Wilfried Zaha during the reception of FC Nantes just before the international break. The Rhone coach made this strong choice due to the behavior of the player who arrived in the last hours of the summer transfer window in the form of loan. Indeed, Pierre Sage did not appreciate the player’s absence for a physical session after the Europa League match won by OL in Scotland against Rangers. Put aside against Nantesthe Ivorian striker recruited by John Textor did not come to training the next day, reveals RMCwho on Tuesday evening received the Lyon technician. However, since this unexcused absence, Wilfried Zaha has returned to the right path and is clearly more motivated during the work sessions organized during this international break.

Nothing has therefore been definitively decided regarding the presence against Le Havre of the player loaned for 3 million euros by Galatasaray. And Wilfried Zaha has now understood this well, Pierre Sage will not give him any gifts, whatever his standing and his past. On this subject, the Olympique Lyonnais technician was direct with his player: “ The idea is not to punish for the sake of sanctioning, but simply for him to become aware of what is expected of him at the club. I told him that we had recruited Wilfried Zaha, so we would like to have Wilfried Zaha. » We will therefore know on Saturday if the 31-year-old striker will be traveling to Normandy, which will mean that Pierre Sage is giving the latter another chance.
