Algeria - LOSC: bad news confirmed for Mandi

Algeria: Aissa Mandi suspended with Lille!

LOSC Lille will have to do without Aïssa Mandi this weekend as they host Stade Brestois for the 22nd round of Ligue 1. The Algerian international has been officially suspended after reaching the regulatory threshold for yellow cards.

Booked on February 1 against Olympique Lyonnais, the northern defender picked up his fifth caution of the season, which automatically triggers a one-match suspension. Although he played in the following fixture, the disciplinary committee has confirmed that the sanction will be served against Brest.

This is a real blow for Bruno Génésio, as Mandi had established himself as a reliable and experienced figure in Lille’s defensive rotation. At 34, the former Villarreal player remains a valuable asset in high-stakes encounters. Source: LFP disciplinary committee.
