OL player Gift Orban is sanctioned for an Instagram comment misinterpreted as support for the opponent. Absent against Lille, he will have to regain the trust of the club and the supporters.
OL striker Gift Orban will be absent from the Lyon squad for the match against Lille this Friday, November 1. At issue: an Instagram comment posted on the publication of Sinaly Diomandé, author of a double for Auxerre against Lyon during the last match (2-2).
Perceived as support for the opponent, this message – a simple “Top” accompanied by flame emojis – was not well received by the supporters nor by the OL management. Although the player explained that it was a mistake to encourage a friend, and not to celebrate Lyon’s defeat, his apology did not prevent the sanction.
A sidelining to recall the values of the club
In addition to his exclusion for this match, Orban could lose his ethics bonus, a reminder of the values expected of OL players. Arriving in January with two goals scored this season, Orban is now under pressure to regain the trust of his club and its fans, in a context where every gesture is carefully monitored by management.
