Hatem Ben Arfa - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Misses Lens clash Ben Arfa didn't make the 20-man squad for Saturday's 2-1 loss to Lens due to an undisclosed reason.

Impact Ben Arfa has now missed second straight match with his problem but his return timetable remains unclear. The forward wasn't a starter though and his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.

Plays off bench in UCL loss Ben Arfa played 13 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Ben Arfa returned to the bench with Burak Yilmaz turning in an impressive display with his start which could mean more playing time for the latter and limited time off the bench in April for the former, especially with the team ending their European campaign.

Quiet in scoreless draw Ben Arfa had one chance created, one foul drawn and one dribble in Friday's 0-0 draw to St. Etienne.

Impact Ben Arfa logged in his third straight start but has been very quiet throughout that period and seems to be screaming to return to the bench. The poor form of Burak Yilmaz is likely the only thing that keeps Ben Arfa with serious playing time but the two could start rotating soon.

Logs two dribbles versus Lyon Ben Arfa had one inaccurate cross, two dribbles and two fouls drawn in Sunday's 1-0 win over Lyon.

Impact Ben Arfa was given the nod for his second start in six matches since arriving at Lille but he remains a bit out of form and limited statistically. The forward dished his first assist already but will be hard to trust in most formats until he earns more regular starts.

Goes unused versus Montpellier Ben Arfa was an unused sub in Saturday's 1-0 win over Montpellier.

Impact Ben Arfa is likely still regaining his optimal fitness and was benched here despite Burak Yilmaz also sitting on the bench. The return of the latter though will likely keep Ben Arfa mostly on the bench moving forward as well.

Assists in first Lille start Ben Arfa tallied one assist, one shot (off target) and three dribbles in Sunday's 5-1 loss to PSG.

Impact Ben Arfa made an impact in his first start for Lille and grabbed a major contribution immediately. He was a bit quiet the rest of the way but should keep improving his form over time given that was only his second appearance this season. The status of Burak Yilmaz remains unclear and Ben Arfa could have a run in the lineup if the former remains sidelined.

Signs with Lille Ben Arfa has signed a contract with Lille on Wednesday for the remainder of the season.

Impact Ben Arfa has been without a club since the Summer and won't be expected to have a major role, especially at his age. The veteran though will certainly find playing time after the departures of Jonathan Ikone and Yusuf Yazici and could have some value in DFS formats down the road whenever given a rare opportunity to start in any of the tournaments Lille are still chasing.
