Eliesse Ben Seghir Suffers Another Injury as Bayer Leverkusen Raises Concerns

Yesterday 22:00

Morocco international Eliesse Ben Seghir has suffered another injury setback, prompting concern at Bayer Leverkusen as recurring fitness problems continue to disrupt his progress at the German club.

The attacking midfielder’s latest physical setback has renewed questions within the club about his ability to maintain consistency and establish himself without further interruptions. With injuries repeatedly affecting his availability since his arrival, Leverkusen is hoping the Moroccan international can overcome this difficult period and return to sustained competition.

Simon Rolfes Expresses Frustration Over Recurring Injuries

Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has openly acknowledged the club’s frustration with the frequency of Ben Seghir’s physical problems.

“It is frustrating because this happens to him relatively regularly. We hope this will be his last injury,” Rolfes said, reflecting the club’s desire to see the player put an end to the recurring setbacks.

His remarks underline the importance Leverkusen places on the midfielder’s physical availability as the club seeks greater continuity from its squad.

Carles Martínez Stresses Physical Management

Head coach Carles Martínez has also highlighted the importance of Ben Seghir paying closer attention to his physical condition. According to German newspaper BILD, Martínez believes the player needs to improve how he looks after and manages his body.

The comments point to a broader challenge for the Moroccan international: regaining fitness while developing the consistency required to contribute regularly at the highest level.

However, the available information does not specify the nature or severity of the latest injury, nor does it provide a confirmed timetable for his return.

A Setback for Ben Seghir’s Progress in Germany

The latest injury represents another interruption for Ben Seghir as he seeks to settle into life at Bayer Leverkusen. Repeated absences can complicate a player's adaptation to a new team, particularly when regular training and match participation are essential to building rhythm and understanding with teammates.

For Leverkusen, the immediate priority will be the player’s recovery and a return to competitive action under appropriate medical supervision. The club will also hope to see greater continuity in his physical condition over the coming months.

Ben Seghir’s return to full fitness would offer an opportunity to refocus on his development in Germany and his contribution to Morocco’s national team. For now, the timing of his comeback remains uncertain.
