Monaco’s Ben Seghir Handed 3-Match Ban After Clash with Brest’s Magnetti

Eliesse Ben Seghir pays dearly for the clash that occurred during the AS Monaco-Stade Brestois match counting for the 30th day of Ligue 1. In addition to the red card, he was given a three-match suspension by the LFP disciplinary commission. A blow for the club that will be without its midfielder for the Monegasques’ trip to OL on Sunday, the reception of Clermont Foot 63 the following weekend, as well as the trip to the lawn of MHSC for the 33rd and penultimate day of Ligue 1. In addition to Ben Seghir, the Monegasque Wilfried Singo also received a red card during the same match. He will miss two games.

Courted by France and Morocco, his country of origin, the native of Saint-Tropez who already has several selections in the French U17, U18 and U19 teams has finally chosen to join the den of the Atlas Lions. While he has already participated in the two friendly matches of the Moroccan international break against Angola (1-0) on March 22 and Mauritania on March 26 (0-0) which took place at the Agadir Grand Stadium, the French Football Federation (FFF) is trying to make him change his mind. If Ben Seghir plays one of the two matches of the Atlas Lions against Zambia and Congo, scheduled in June as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, France will lose him definitively.
