It’s indeed a distressing incident in the Belgian championship involving Copa Barry, the Ivorian goalkeeper from Lokeren. Just five minutes into the match against Bruges, Barry hit the goalpost and lost consciousness while attempting to block an opponent’s shot.
Trainers immediately rushed onto the field to provide first aid. Unfortunately, even during his evacuation on a stretcher, Copa Barry remained unconscious. As of the latest information, he has been taken to the emergency room at the hospital for further medical attention.
It’s worth noting that Copa Barry had recently returned to play after being sidelined for two months due to a shoulder injury sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). The situation is undoubtedly concerning, and the football community will be hopeful for his swift recovery.
