Lille coach Rene Girard has suggested that Liverpool loanee Divock Origi has his mind on Anfield instead of fully focusing on his remaining time in Ligue 1.
Girard was speaking prior to Lille's victory over title hopefuls Lyon, in which Origi was handed a surprise start in the 2-1 win at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.
"We sometimes forget how young a player he is," Girard told reporters, according to Get French Football News.
"Sometimes it is good that he misses a match. One thinks that he feels already at Liverpool. That he is not giving his all.
"Also, Liverpool came for him again during the winter transfer window. That is not easy to cope with. But I am still sure that he is not at 100%."
Lille hold eighth spot in the Ligue 1 standings following the win.
