After quickly revealing himself in Ghent, Gift Orban obtained a nice transfer to Olympique Lyonnais. But for the moment, the player is at the center of a controversy.

A message that goes wrong
His message of support to an opposing player, moreover after a 2-2 split, which did not please at all and which forced Orban to apologize publicly.
“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 of our match. […] We work hard to win matches and trophies. For OL, I’m sorry. Thank you,” he then apologized in an Instagram story.
Left out of the group
As revealed RMC SportOL have decided to exclude the 22-year-old Nigerian player, who is not selected to face Lille this Friday. But still according to the same source, management will summon their player in the coming days.
He risks losing his ethics bonus; a usual bonus paid to players if they respect a series of rules related to their behavior and attitude. The Rhone decision-makers clearly did not appreciate his outing on social networks and intend to make him understand this.
In addition to not having lived up to expectations on the pitch since his arrival in January, he also loses points for his attitude. It remains to be seen whether he will be reinstated for the trip to Hoffenheim in the Europa League next week.
