This is commonly referred to as a “killer tackle”. In the middle of a preparation match between Leicester and Villarreal, the ultra-promising French defender Wesley Fofana was the victim of an assault on the part of the Spanish player Fernando Nino when the score was already 3-0 for the club English.
Released on a stretcher and on oxygen, the former Saint-Etienne player gave news a few hours later on his social networks and revealed to be the victim of a fracture of the fibula, the bone of the leg. “Hi everyone, thank you for all of your messages. It’s a bad day for me but I’m at an amazing club with a great medical team. I will give you some info when I have a definitive diagnosis but we already know that I have a fibula fracture. I will be back soon, and even stronger! “. “Don’t worry, I am a warrior,” he added.
Fer Nino has been very strongly criticized on social networks for his gesture, especially during a pre-season friendly match where contacts are generally not virulent. For his part, Fofana has received a lot of support, including that of his former club, ASSE. “We’re thinking of you, Wesley”
