Wissam Ben Yedder counterattacks. Indicted for “rape, attempted rape and sexual assault” and placed under judicial supervision – like his 25-year-old younger brother – after the filing of a complaint by two young women aged 19 and 20 for alleged facts that go back on July 10, the tricolor international striker of AS Monaco pleaded his innocence via his lawyer, Me Hasna Louzé. “My client strongly disputes the offenses with which he is charged,” she said in comments reported by Nice Matin, explaining that her client does not wish to speak. Me Louzé adds that he hopes that “justice can continue its work in serenity without pressure of any kind”.

Captain of AS Monaco, where he is under contract until 2024, Wissam Ben Yedder, 33, has never been dismissed by his new coach, Adi Hütter. He has also scored three goals in two matches since the start of the season. “I salute his behavior, he is the captain. We are very happy with him but we must salute the overall performance of the team. I have a purely sporting relationship with him, from coach to player. We only talk about the field and my job is to put the best players on the field and he is part of it, “said the Austrian technician after the double of the former Toulouse player during the 4-2 victory against Toulouse.
