Overview

  • French outlets report Jonathan Rowe and Adrien Rabiot argued in the dressing room after the Rennes loss and are believed to have come to blows.
  • Roberto De Zerbi publicly condemned the infighting, saying the team was beaten on the pitch and then fought among themselves.
  • Both players have been removed from first-team training and could miss Marseille’s home match against Paris FC, according to multiple reports.
  • Football Italia reports the pair were absent from training again and were told to find new clubs, with Rabiot’s mother telling RTL and L’Equipe that De Zerbi no longer wants him at OM.
  • Speculation links Rowe with interest from Roma and Bologna following his high-profile summer with England’s Under-21s, though no move has been agreed.
