Basic man of the system put in place at the Bleuets by Thierry Henry, Rayan Cherki was not called up by the coach this Thursday.

If there was no big surprise on the list of twenty-three players selected this Thursday by Didier Deschamps for the A, there was, however, a small twist of theater a few minutes later, when where Thierry Henry revealed the group convened for the Bleuets side. No Rayan Cherki, yet a central man in the former Arsenal striker’s system since he took office at the head of the Bleuets. He explained it.

It’s on the channel The Team that the Espoirs coach gave the exact reason for his strong choice. “ I know Rayan very well, (but he has) less playing time, it’s much more difficult. » Referring to the complicated situation that the player is experiencing with Olympique Lyonnais, Thierry Henry then spoke of the arrival of serious competition in the French team.

The new generation is pushing

There are players arriving too. We have to look at what Maghnes Akliouche is doing in Monaco. So here is. Simply put, performance. Again, this is not a punishment. There are the 2001s coming. » But the Bleuets coach still left a reason for hope for Rayan Cherki, but also for Mathys Tel who was not called up either. “ Internally, I told them that too and I say it quite often: one day’s truth is not often the next day’s truth. »

A starter in Lyon when Pierre Sage arrived on the bench during the season, Rayan Cherki was then downgraded. The same fate befell him today with the Espoirs. But Thierry Henry still wanted to insist: “ Again, this is not a punishment. At the moment, as you can clearly see, he is in a bit of trouble in Lyon. He will have a phone call after speaking with you, with explanations. »
