Rayan Cherki came off the bench in Lyon's 3-2 win against Ivory Coast. The 20-year-old midfielder is a key member of the French under-23 team.
He could start against the United States this Monday (9:05 p.m.) in a friendly at Châteauroux. Thierry Henry was not included in the initial list of players for the Games. The former Arsenal striker says Cherki is a player who knows how to dribble with the right as well as the left.
