Perhaps more fear than harm for Yassine Benzia. Thursday, May 28, the midfielder of Dijon, 25, was the victim of a buggy accident in the vicinity of Savigny-le-Sec (Côte-d'Or). Seriously injured in the left hand, the former Lille player, who came to Burgundy in the winter transfer window from the Olympiakos of Piraeus, was hospitalized and operated on at the Dijon CHU. And the news from the Algerian international seems reassuring.
Courage Yassine! We are with you ! ❤️🖤

In any case, this is the message that his club wanted to send in a press release. “Yassine Benzia, who has undergone an operation, will now continue to receive appropriate care from hospital staff. His state of health is improving day by day, explains the text. The whole DFCO is present alongside Yassine to help him overcome this ordeal and allow him to find the lawns of Ligue 1 as quickly as possible. Courage Yassine! We are with you ! "
Arrived on January 30 after signing a three and a half year contract, Benzia only played 4 games before the final shutdown of Ligue 1. First victim in late February of a hamstring injury, he then had to undergo, like all of his comrades, the cancellation of the end of the elite season because of Covid-19.
