Ethan Mbappe and Lille
28 September 2026
UEFA has suspended Lille midfielder Ethan Mbappe for three Champions League matches following his straight red card against Real Betis. The disciplinary ruling relates to an incident in which Mbappe was dismissed for striking defender Natan.
The ban rules Mbappe out against Arsenal, Galatasaray and Bodo/Glimt. The 19-year-old will become eligible for European competition again when Lille host Bayern Munich on 25 November, leaving three league-phase fixtures after his return.
