It appears he is being saved for CL matches - being put in front of the telly to try and get a bit more money for him
He wasn’t there for the start of the season. Like most players, he was given time off after the World Cup and missed Lyon’s first two league games of the season, came on as a sub for their third game, and played 90 minutes in their forth. In the remaining 12 league games, he has started 7 of them and come on as a sub once. He started 5 of their 6 group games in the Champions League. He hurt his ankle against PSG in October and didn’t play again for a month so missed a Champions League game and a couple of league game. If you look at his record and the number of times he gets subbed off you could make an argument that there is an element of him being managed but nothing like what you’re suggesting.
