Olympique Lyon deletes Jerome Boateng surprisingly and at short notice from the squad.
According to a report, there was trouble surrounding the former Bayern Munich player.
Munich/Lyon – Jerome Boateng* caused a stir one time or another during his time on Säbener Straße in Munich*.
The world champion also repeatedly held up to FC Bayern * that there was nothing to be done with a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The central defender is now playing in France anyway, albeit for Olympique Lyon.
Jerome Boateng: Anger about former Bayern player at Olympique Lyon
And even at his new club there was apparently trouble around the 33-year-old defender.
Because: Boateng was missing in the Olympique squad in the 2-0 (1-0) win against OGC Nice.
As
Sport1
reports, "because of a verbal dispute with teammates.
The ex-Bayern star was upset that several teammates were late for training after the bankruptcy in Monaco.
There were no fisticuffs."
A dispute?
The always well-informed French
L'Equipe
also reported an alleged dispute with fellow players.
Ex-Bundesliga* trainer and Lyon coach Peter Bosz (once Borussia Dortmund* and Bayer Leverkusen) justified the eviction with alleged sporting reasons.
“I saw a lot of wrong things in the newspapers.
For me, he wasn't ready to play today," explained Bosz in the context of the game against Nice.
He had already had talks with the former Munich resident in order to settle the matter, he continued.

Even with the German Bundesliga record champion * there had always been discussions about Boateng.
“Jerome needs to get some rest.
It's been a bit too much for me since the summer.
It would be in his interest and in that of the club if he were to come back 'back to earth'," ex-CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said in November 2016, for example.
Now the former national player is apparently also causing a need for discussion at the new club.
Boateng switched to Lyon this season after not getting a new contract with Bayern.
