International career

In January 2014, coach Claude Leroy invited Bhebey-Ndey to be a part of the Congo national squad for the 2014 African Nations Championship.[2][3] The team was eliminated in the group stages after losing to Ghana, drawing with Libya, and defeating Ethiopia.[4][5]

Spinal cord injury

Bhebey-Ndey suffered a career-ending spinal cord injury on 26 July 2015, in a match against Zamalek SC in the 2015 CAF Confederation Cup. He arrived at the hospital with "serious damage to his spinal column between his fifth and sixth vertebra, a blow to the spinal cord, breathing difficulties and [a cerebral hemorrhage]."[6]

After emergency surgery, he was sent to France to help speed up his recovery.[7] The injury has rendered him tetraplegic and put a stop to his career.[8]
