Overview
- Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe remain sidelined and on OM’s transfer list after what De Zerbi called a severe locker‑room fight.
- De Zerbi said the decision was initially temporary but became definitive because of the reaction of Rabiot’s entourage, singling out public comments by his mother‑agent.
- He described a brawl so serious that club security intervened and noted a teammate had lost consciousness during the incident.
- Rabiot expressed remorse and believes the punishment is disproportionate, according to De Zerbi, who insisted he would have made the same call and said he will not resign.
- OM will play without Rabiot and Rowe and adjust tactics, and French reports say Rowe is in Bologna for a medical ahead of a possible move.
