Nothing is going well, already, to OM! Three days after the defeat on the field of Stade Rennais (1-0), at the opening of the Ligue 1 season, the sanction fell for Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe. On the return from the locker room after this unhappy setback, conceded at the end of the match on a goal of Ludovic Blas in additional time (91st), despite a numerical superiority since the 31st, the French international pushed a rant like the other frames of the group, Geronimo Rulli, Leonardo Balerdi and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. A lack of effort has been criticized.
However Rowe felt targeted by the admonitions of his teammates, came out of his hinges in English and then approached Rabiot, which gave a head confrontation against the two interested parties, as RMC told the day after the meeting.
Roberto de Zerbi let his players explain himself before taking the time to crop his troops. Football director Medhi Benatia was alongside the Italian coach and calm then returned.
Holder Rabiot for OM-Paris FC?
On Monday afternoon, RMC Sport reveals that Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe were sanctioned by the leaders of the Marseille club because they took time to calm down during their altercation. They are both temporarily excluded from the first team, probably for Monday training (late afternoon) at the Robert Louis-Dreyfus center, five days before the reception of Paris FC at Stade Vélodrome (Saturday at 5 p.m.).
Rabiot and Rowe may have to pay a fine by donating the OM Foundation. De Zerbi should not deprive himself of it during the second championship meeting. If the French team player is essential for Marseille training, the young Englishman (22 years old), who is one of the possible starters after the XXL transfer window produced by Pablo Longoria, could be sent to the bench. A tenure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can for example shift Amine Gouiri on the left.
