Guilherme Liberato apologises to Froholdt after head clash, says no intent to harm | OneFootball

Moreirense midfielder Guilherme Liberato apologised to Victor Froholdt after their late head collision in FC Porto’s 2-1 win, saying he had no intention to be unsporting or to hurt him.

The closing stages of FC Porto’s 2-1 victory over Moreirense were marred by a heavy clash between Liberato and Froholdt, who briefly lost consciousness before coming round on the pitch. Bednarek turned him on his side as medics arrived, and the Dane left to a loud ovation on a stretcher before heading to hospital for tests, staying overnight for concussion observation and expected to be discharged today. FC Porto said in a statement that he was well and without any anomaly.

Liberato was in tears as Froholdt left the field. He later apologised to the Danish international, expressing sadness at seeing him taken off and wishing him a swift recovery.

He stressed there was no intention to be unsporting or to cause harm, describing the incident as part of the game while maintaining his regret for what happened.

Liberato also hoped Froholdt had suffered no consequences and looked forward to seeing him back on the pitch soon.
