Benjamin Stambouli
35-Year-Old
Metz
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Ribs
Est. Return 3/15/2026
Fractured rib confirmed
Stambouli has suffered a fractured rib and is set to miss upwards of a month as he recovers, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Stambouli went down Friday, and after some further testing on the rib injury, a fracture has been confirmed. Unfortunately for the midfielder, he will now miss out on probably over a month of action, needing to avoid contact for a few weeks before building up fitness levels again. With two straight starts after a spell off the bench, this will force some changes for the club, with Boubacar Traore to return to a starting role while Believe Munongo gets an opportunity for more time.
