Eliesse Ben Seghir - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Out two to three weeks Ben Seghir will be sidelined for at least two to three weeks due to a muscle injury in his right thigh, according to BILD.

Impact Ben Seghir will miss important preseason sessions as a result, though he is still expected to travel with the squad to Leverkusen's training camp in Blankenhain from Aug. 1 to 7, where he will complete individual rehab and conditioning work rather than full training. Ben Seghir had a good first week, therefore this new setback is a blow and the timing is especially unfortunate given the Moroccan winger was looking to make a fresh impression under new head coach Carles Martinez Novell after an inconsistent debut season with the Werkself, with this setback now costing him valuable time in the competition for a starting spot.
