Amandine Henry: the footballer has a rant on Instagram
If the young woman took this step, it was because the OL club made her understand that he was not counting on her to “end the season” nor to end his career. But the club have also made it known that they want to keep her. “It was mainly for image issues vis-à-vis my partners and our opponents, without necessarily intending to make me play“, she says. A decision difficult for her to accept, but which she must nevertheless respect: “In view of this decision, which saddens me because I spent 16 extraordinary years in LyonI thought it might be wiser to complete my recovery to join a new project as soon as possible, and thus give myself every chance of being able to, perhaps, wear this blue jersey that is so dear to my heart. “.
