[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, Marseille player Chancel Mbemba has won a salary dispute, with the French Professional Football League ruling that the club improperly deducted his wages. There has been new progress in the salary dispute between Chancel Mbemba and Marseille, as the French Professional Football League recently ruled that Marseille must refund 23 days’ wages deducted due to his failure to attend a medical examination. The league found that implementing wage deductions without prior warning was non-compliant. This summer, Marseille defender Chancel Mbemba had 23 days’ wages deducted for not attending a medical examination, but ultimately won the case under the ruling of the French Professional Football League, which ordered Marseille to refund those wages. Now, Chancel Mbemba has won again before the legal committee of the French Professional Football League, and he will recover the 23 days’ wages deducted for not attending the club’s mandatory medical examination. The league believes that any possible penalties should be preceded by a warning. Due to the lack of this essential step, the wage deduction measure is deemed inapplicable.
