Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush has been identified as the most fouled African player in Europe’s top leagues this season, according to data compiled by Euro Football Rumours.
The Eintracht Frankfurt winger ranks fourth overall in the 2024-25 season, having suffered 55 fouls so far.
The statistics, last updated on February 17, 2025, place Marmoush behind Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimarães, who tops the list with 82 fouls, followed by Roma’s Manu Koné (58) and Bologna’s Dan Ndoye (55).
The rankings highlight the physical challenges faced by creative and attacking players, with defenders frequently resorting to fouls to disrupt their rhythm.
Other notable names on the list include Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala.
Here are the top five players who have suffered the most fouls in Europe’s major leagues this season:
- Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United) – 82 fouls
- Manu Koné (Roma) – 58 fouls
- Dan Ndoye (Bologna) – 55 fouls
- Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt) – 55 fouls
- Patrick Dorgu (Lecce) – 55 fouls
Marmoush, who has been a key figure for Eintracht Frankfurt this season, continues to attract defensive attention due to his dribbling ability and attacking threat.
The 25-year-old has been a crucial part of the German club’s attacking setup, and his ability to draw fouls highlights both his skill on the ball and the challenges he faces from opposition defenders.
With the season still ongoing, the Egyptian international is likely to remain one of Europe’s most targeted players as teams look to contain his influence on the pitch.
