Initially expected to start in the Coupe de France with Lyon, this Tuesday against Strasbourg (8:45 p.m.), Rayan Cherki is finally a replacement. Not a good sign for him.
The trend is not really improving for Rayan Cherki. No longer a starter for three Ligue 1 matches, the Lyonnais hoped to take advantage of the Coupe de France quarter-final played Tuesday evening by his team against Strasbourg (8:45 p.m.), to rediscover the joys of tenure. Unfortunately for him, Pierre Sage decided to prefer Saïd Benrahma, one of the winter recruits of the Gone. Not a good sign for the player trained at OL.
In any case, this is the analysis that Laurie Delhostal made on the set of the channel The Team. “It’s a very bad sign for him. The recruitment of the winter transfer window was not positive for him. » Since Pierre Sage succeeded Fabio Grosso on the Lyon bench, Rayan Cherki has started ten times in fourteen games. But that was before January 26, when he lost his status.
More holder
Under the leadership of his new coach, he also scored two goals in the Coupe de France, which suggested that he could start against Strasbourg. It remains to be seen how the situation will evolve for Rayan Cherki who still does not seem to have emerged from the spiral in which he has found himself since he hatched in Lyon. Announced as a future great, the French international among the Espoirs is slow to establish himself, while time passes slowly.
Some also have fears for the medium-term future of the player in Pierre Sage’s group. On the other hand, Cherki’s place within Thierry Henry’s Espoirs should not be called into question, the French coach having until now been able to get the best out of the Lyon player when he called on him. Unless the Lyonnais no longer manage to get enough playing time at OL.
