Ethan Mbappe sanctioned by UEFA after Champions League red card
The young midfielder of the French club LOSC, Ethan Mbappe, finally knows his exact punishment following his sending off in European football. During a thrilling match in the UEFA Champions League against the Spanish side Real Betis, which ended in a 2-3 defeat, the player was shown a red card after delivering an elbow strike to defender Natan. According to recent reports, European football's governing body has decided to hand the younger brother of Kylian Mbappe a strict three-match suspension.
A major blow for LOSC in Europe
This heavy sanction comes as a severe setback for the French outfit and the player himself. Ethan Mbappe will now be forced to sit out several crucial fixtures in the prestigious continental competition. He will miss the anticipated away clash at Emirates Stadium against English club Arsenal on October 13, the home fixture against Turkish side Galatasaray on October 21, and the challenging trip to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt on November 3. His absence will undoubtedly require tactical adjustments from the coaching staff.
Upcoming fixture and return date
Despite this suspension, the talented midfielder will have the opportunity to return to continental action later in the autumn campaign. According to the schedule, Ethan Mbappe is set to make his official comeback in the Champions League when the French team takes on German powerhouse Bayern Munich on November 25.
