Six years later, Adrien Rabiot returned to the French championship, entering play this Sunday evening in Strasbourg in the OM jersey.
It was in December 2018. Then in the colors of PSG, his training club, Adrien Rabiot played his last L1 match in Strasbourg before six months in the closet and a departure for Juventus in the summer of 2019. Six years later, the person concerned was able to reconnect with the French elite, in this same Meinau stadium.
Passed under the Marseille flag to everyone’s surprise while he was without a club since the expiration of his Turin lease, Adrien Rabiot joined Roberto De Zerbi’s group for this match of the 6e day of L1 but was not expected to play more than a handful of minutes given his truncated preparation.
A very average entry into play
Ismaël Koné injured, however, the French international had to enter the game prematurely in Strasbourg, launched into the battle from the 62e minute while his team was trailing. Result, not much to put under the crampons, a good opening in depth for Neal Maupay certainly – in vain – but also and above all four losses of ball and a yellow card collected for a clumsy in front of the Marseille penalty area ( 75e).
Given the Marseille infirmary at the start of the season, Adrien Rabiot will certainly have the opportunity to recover next Friday for his first at the Vélodrome, against Angers. A match that OM, beaten in Alsace (1-0) and now three points behind PSG and Monaco, should not miss.
