Bensghir Begins Rehabilitation Ahead of Leverkusen Return

German press reports indicate that Moroccan international Elias Bensghir has entered a new phase in his treatment program following an ankle ligament injury that has kept him off the pitch for several weeks.

According to the same sources, the Bayer Leverkusen player has begun light individual training at the club's training center. This includes specific physical exercises and muscle strengthening as part of a medical plan aimed at gradually preparing him for a return to competitive action.

Bensghir sustained the injury while representing the Moroccan national team during the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 qualifiers, necessitating a multi-week recovery period under the supervision of the German club's medical staff.

Expectations suggest that the player's official return to competitive play will not be before March. His reintegration will be gradual to avoid any potential setbacks, especially as he is still in the process of regaining full fitness.

Bensghir joined Leverkusen last summer from Monaco in a highly anticipated transfer. However, injuries and technical instability have so far prevented him from making regular appearances for the German side.
