STÉPHANE MBIA HOSPITALIZED AFTER EUROPA LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL CLASH
A worrying moment for Stéphane Mbia on Thursday night despite Sevilla FC’s 3-0 win over Fiorentina in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals. The Cameroonian midfielder was hospitalized after the match following a neck injury sustained during a collision with Milan Badelj.
Mbia, who looked dazed after the clash, initially returned to the field after receiving treatment but was ultimately substituted in the 73rd minute.
While initial medical tests revealed nothing serious, the former Olympique de Marseille man was kept under observation for further testing and monitoring as a precaution.
This incident comes at a crucial time for Sevilla, who are aiming for another Europa League final appearance. Mbia’s condition will be closely watched in the coming days.
