The match between Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais, postponed after the stones of the Lyon club’s coaches, will take place at Marseille on December 6announced the Professional Football League (LFP) on Thursday.
The date of the postponement of the meeting was already known but not the location, which was the subject of tensions between the two clubs.
This match of the 10th day of Ligue 1 could not be played after the injury to Lyon coach Fabio Grossohit in the head when a projectile broke a window of the bus in which he was.
No disciplinary action
The LFP competitions committee made the decision to play the match at the Vélodrome stadium “following the information and guarantees transmitted by the Bouches-du-Rhône prefecture”she explained in a press release.
On Wednesday evening, the disciplinary committee of the body, referred to by its president Vincent Labrune, announced that it would not give “immediately disciplinary” for the stone attack on October 29 because the incidents had “products on public roads“.
OL appeals
For its part, OL announced on Thursday that it would appeal this decision, judging it “inaudible” and considering that it indicated “unequivocally that the LFP absolves itself of responsibility”.
Olympique Lyonnais motivated this appeal by its desire “not not let these unacceptable events go unanswered“, insisting on their “extreme gravity”.
The LFP disciplinary committee also opened an investigation after racist chants and gestures observed in the stadium’s visitor parking lot by Lyon fans. The decision is expected on November 22.
