The World Cup winner is yet to return to Ligue 1 action for Lyon, but Genesio says he has been affected by not joining Liverpool.

“It is never easy accepting this kind of situation, when you are very near to signing for a club where you want to go,” he said.

“Where you want to reach another level and to give a boost to your career.

“But as I said, it could have been worse for him. He is at Lyon, at a strong club, he is captain of a team who plays in the Champions League.

“This could be a very important season for Nabil. I haven’t seen any attitudes or signs that make me think he won’t live up to his role the way he did last year.”
