Rayan Cherki made his return to the field this Saturday during Manchester City's match against Everton (2-0) in the Premier League. Already present in the citizen group to face Brentford (1-0) before the international break, the Skyblues attacking midfielder finally remained on the bench.
This time, for the reception of the Toffees at the Etihad Stadium, the neo-Tricolore was able to benefit from a few minutes. Coming into play in place of Savinho five minutes from the end of normal time, he did not need more time to show that he was in good shape.
Cherki's invisible work
During the week, Cherki himself had shared several photos on social networks where he appeared transformed. In these images, the former Lyonnais seemed sharper than ever, visibly slimmer and slender than usual. A physical change necessary to win at City, as confirmed by a former physical trainer from Olympique Lyonnais in the columns of The Team this Tuesday.
“Even if it's only two kilos lighter, it makes a big difference when you have to repeat the short, high-intensity races that the Citizens' game demands. Rayan has always been massive, powerful on the legs, but this 'dryness' does not date from this year. Already, towards the end in Lyon, I had noticed that he had changed, because I think that he had also made his invisible work evolve.“, he explained.
