Gift Orban has been dropped from Olympique Lyonnais’ first-team squad due to disciplinary issues, following an incident where he and Wilfried Zaha refused to train with players who hadn’t been regular starters or were not involved in Lyon’s UEFA Europa League clash against Rangers.
Lyon’s technical director, Pierre Sage, confirmed that both players will now train with the youth squad as a consequence.

This decision reflects the club’s strict stance on discipline, as both Orban and Zaha’s actions were seen as undermining the team’s unity and work ethic.
Orban, who was expected to make a significant impact after his move from Gent, will now face an uphill battle to regain his place in the first team.
His manager has expressed disappointment, but Orban will need to prove his commitment going forward.
