Seven days from the end of the championship, Olympique Lyonnais is no longer in European places. While on three consecutive victories, the Rhone club suffered from its defeat conceded last weekend on the field of Strasbourg (4-2). A meeting during which Rayan Cherki was not at the party. Consequently, he should not hold on Saturday evening, during the reception of Lille (9:05 p.m., 28th day of Ligue 1).
In the starting eleven during the last two Gones outings, the French international hope should therefore be replacement according to The team. A decision by Paulo Fonseca that the media explains first by the return of Thiago Almada. If it will take a few hours before knowing the composition of a final team, it is Botafogo's defector that holds the rope to start the game to the detriment of his teammate.
Since the start of the season, Rayan Cherki has however been to his advantage, he who has already scored eight goals and offered eighteen assists in thirty-five games, all competitions combined. But facing the LOSC, the bad news would therefore be for him. In the midfield, Corentin Tolisso and Ernest Nuamah should also start the game, just behind Captain Alexandre Lacazette.
A departure always possible in June
The situation of Rayan Cherki remains more or less uncertain at Olympique Lyonnais. Under contract until June 2026, the winger is regularly quoted among the players that the club would plan to sell in the event of a substantial offer. Its current value is estimated at thirty-five million euros by the specialized site Transfermarkt.
In the meantime, Lyon still has some important deadlines in front of him. After this duel against Lille, it will be time to turn to the Europa League with a rather enticing quarter -final against Manchester United. If the level of the Red Devils has nothing to do with the one who was theirs a decade ago, the poster remains prestigious. On April 10 at Groupama Stadium, will Rayan Cherki hold against the Mancunians?
