Lille midfielder Ethan Mbappé, the younger brother of star Kylian Mbappé, has been handed a three-match ban after being sent off against Spanish side Real Betis in the UEFA Champions League in early September for an intentional elbow strike to an opponent’s face. The 19-year-old will miss Lille’s next three matches in the unified group stage of the Champions League: against English club Arsenal on October 13 in London, against Turkish side Galatasaray on October 21, and against Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt away on November 3. The younger brother of the French national team captain clashed with Real Betis striker Nathan away from the referee’s view during the teams’ match at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium on September 8, in the first round of the competition’s unified group stage. The Lille player exaggerated his reaction, delivering a blow to the Brazilian’s face, who fell to the ground immediately.
