Booked on February 1 against Olympique Lyonnais, the northern defender picked up his fifth caution of the season, which automatically triggers a one-match suspension. Although he played in the following fixture, the disciplinary committee has confirmed that the sanction will be served against Brest.

This is a real blow for Bruno Génésio, as Mandi had established himself as a reliable and experienced figure in Lille’s defensive rotation. At 34, the former Villarreal player remains a valuable asset in high-stakes encounters. Source: LFP disciplinary committee.
