Marseille and Lyon will soon know more about their fate. And on that of the match which was to oppose them this Sunday evening, as the finale of the 10th day of Ligue 1 before a handful of people, who stoned the buses of OL players and supporters causing in particular the impressive injury to the face of Fabio Grosso, decide otherwise.
Canceled for Sunday evening, “Olympico” will very likely be replayed, explains a source close to the LFP to Le Parisien. It is the League’s competitions commission, as the LFP announced yesterday in a press release published after the events, which must now decide on the modalities: when? In which stadium? With or without supporters? If it is still “too early to make any progress on this”, we are told, the commission’s decision will be taken in consultation with state services and there is “fairly little doubt” on the fact that no sanction for a lost match is taken and that the match is therefore given to be replayed at a later date.
The events which led to the postponement of the match, namely the stone-throwing of the Lyon bus which led to the injury of Fabio Grosso, having taken place outside the stadium, the LFP explains that it cannot take disciplinary sanctions and that, moreover, the The club cannot be held responsible. On the other hand, the league’s disciplinary committee will be able to look into the excesses which took place within the Vélodrome and more precisely in the Lyon parking lot, between monkey cries and barely concealed Nazi salutes.
