The mole affair claimed a main victim at OL: Rayan Cherki. The young Lyon midfielder was not on the trip to Marseille on Sunday. However, his sidelining is not only sporting, it is also media-related from now on.
The relationship between Rayan Cherki and Fabio Grosso is deteriorating day after day at OL. The young Lyon midfielder was the first starting player that the Italian put on the bench during his first match in Brest. But things got much worse with Jérôme Rothen’s revelations about the players’ rebellion against their Italian coach. The latter, angry, had urged the mole(s) in the locker room to denounce themselves. Certain elements tended to show that Cherki, through his entourage, could be one of these players. This seemed to be confirmed for observers with the absence of the young Lyonnais in the group which made the trip to Marseille on Sunday.
Cherki is no longer the headliner of OL
This sidelining is officially a tactical choice by Fabio Grosso. However, will this continue over time for Rayan Cherki? The OL Goneback news account, widely followed by supporters, has unearthed negative clues for the fate of the 20-year-old player. Cherki went from being the leading figure of the Rhone club in its communication to a pariah who had become almost invisible.

« Since the disclosure of this mole affair by Jérôme Rothen, Rayan Cherki seems more and more absent from OL communication even though he was often highlighted there… Simple coincidence or total break? », asks a very observant Goneback about X. Lyon supporters will perhaps have the end of the story this weekend with the reception of Metz. A further absence of Rayan Cherki in the OL group or a possible intervention by Grosso on this subject at a press conference will be particularly scrutinized.
