During the Sochaux – Saint Etienne match on Saturday, the final score (0-0) became inconsequential due to a distressing incident that overshadowed the overall performance of the two teams. At the half-hour mark, a tackle by Kurt Zouma on Thomas Guerbert marred the game.
In the unfortunate incident, Zouma not only took the ball but also collided with the ankle of Sochaux midfielder Guerbert. The latter writhed in pain near the touchline and, tragically, would never return to the field. Guerbert was promptly evacuated to the hospital, and the diagnosis revealed a fracture of the tibia and fibula along with a dislocation of the ankle, necessitating a six-month absence.
Zouma received a red card, and while he faced an appearance before the disciplinary committee, his return to the field is not expected in the near future. The incident left a lasting impact, reminding viewers of the harsh realities and potential dangers in the world of football.
