According to reports from FootMercato, the talented winger remains sidelined for Lyon’s upcoming clash with Lille, following his loan move from West Ham United.
FootMercato reveals that Benrahma’s suspension stems from a red card he received while playing for the Hammers against Bristol City last month.
The repercussions of Benrahma’s actions have continued to haunt him, with the Algerian winger sent off during an FA Cup third-round replay on January 16 for an altercation with Bristol City’s Joe Williams.
The incident not only resulted in Benrahma’s early exit from the match but also dealt a blow to West Ham’s chances of advancing, ultimately leading to their premature FA Cup exit.
Despite completing his loan switch to Lyon during the January transfer window, Benrahma’s debut for the French club has been put on hold, casting a shadow over his eagerly anticipated move.
Fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Benrahma in action for Lyon, as he is forced to sit out their upcoming fixture against Lille in the French Cup round of 16.
