Bad news for Eliesse Ben Seghir two months before the 2026 World Cup

Eliesse Ben Seghir is no longer able to establish himself within Bayer Leverkusen. Since the start of the season, the Moroccan international has struggled to gain the trust of his technical staff and has had to settle for very limited appearances. Unable to secure a starting position, the player no longer provides the expected impact within the German squad, which weakens his position a few weeks before the big global event.

His situation has been exacerbated by a serious ankle injury that kept him away from the pitch for a long period. Although he has recently rejoined the group during the matches against Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund, he remained on the bench without playing a single minute. The competition has become ruthless, particularly with the rise of Nigerian Nathan Tella who has firmly established himself in the starting lineup.

The statistical record of the young talent reflects this dark season. In 12 matches in all competitions, Eliesse Ben Seghir has not scored any goals and has not provided any assists. This lack of rhythm and competitiveness is worrying regarding his ability to join the Moroccan national team for the 2026 World Cup. Without a rapid return to official competition, his participation in the event could be seriously compromised.
