Captain of AS Monaco, Wissam ben Yedder may no longer wear the armband. Worse, he could be removed from the group in the long term, involved in a rape file.

Will Wissam Ben Yedder play Sunday in Clermont on the occasion of the first day of Ligue 1? Although the AS Monaco striker has no physical problems, the question arises today.

We learned on Friday of the indictment of the 32-year-old player for “ rape, attempted rape and sexual assault” , precise Nice morning. The information was confirmed with the Nice prosecutor’s office.

The alleged facts would have occurred on July 10 in Beausoleil (Alpes-Maritimes) at the end of an evening attended by two young women (19 and 20 years old), Wissam Ben Yedder and his 25-year-old younger brother. The latter is also being examined for the same charges.

In such a context, the Principality club could decide to sideline Wissam Ben Yedder, temporarily, the time to assess the situation with the French international (19 caps – 3 goals).

Monegasque leaders can also apply the notion of the presumption of innocence and not dismiss it from the group led by Adi Hütter.

Finally, Ben Yedder may himself want to step back, believing that he is not in a healthy psychological state to practice high-level sport.
