Yassine Benzia, the 19-year-old striker for Olympique Lyonnais, has found himself in a stroke of misfortune. Despite his promising talent showcased with 10 games and 2 goals in Ligue 1 this season, he has been handed a hefty five-match suspension. This punishment was meted out by the Disciplinary Commission of the French Football Federation in response to a regrettable incident that occurred during his recent appearance for the reserve team against Villefranche-sur-Saône (0-0) over the weekend.
It’s worth noting that this suspension not only affects his participation in CFA matches but also sidelines him from Ligue 1 fixtures.
