Benjamin Andre - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Assists in draw Sunday Andre assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Nice.

Impact Andre could've scored a goal, but his shot from close range bounced off the posts and straight back at him. The central midfielder didn't test his luck again, however, and he set up Mitchell Bakker, who unleashed a thunderous effort to find the back of the net. Andre tends to get forward often despite being a central midfielder but is not known for racking up too many shots or goal contributions. In fact, this was his first assist of the 2024/25 campaign between the Ligue 1 and the UEFA Europa League.

This will leave him out to face Monaco on Oct. 18, with a return set for Oct. 26 against Lens. He has yet to miss a start, so this will force a change, with Mitchel Bakker as a possible replacement.

Quiet in defeat Andre generated one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Sporting CP. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 56th minute.

Impact Andre was poor in his outing Tuesday, only managing one shot and two tackles as his team fell to Sporting. This continues his quiet start to the season, as he has yet to bag a goal contribution. However, he only saw four in 30 appearances last campaign, with the midfielder not seeing much action near the box.
