Baroan breaks leg after clash with Luis Suárez, who avoids red card | OneFootball

Antoine Baroan fractured his left leg following a violent tackle with Luis Suárez in last Thursday's match between Sporting and AVS. On its official website, the AVS team reported the forward's medical condition, revealing that he will spend the night hospitalized in Lisbon before heading to the North of the country.

"The player Antoine Baroan, who made his debut today for AFS, fractured his left leg during tonight's game with Sporting CP. The player was stabilized by the medical teams present at the stadium and was immediately taken to the Hospital de São José in Lisbon to be examined and continue the stabilization process. He will spend the night in this facility, and tomorrow he will be transported to the Hospital of Famalicão and subsequently will be under the care of the AVS Futebol SAD's medical department," read the statement from the northern club.

Similar incidents have been punished in the past with a red card. Luis Diaz, for example, while playing for FC Porto, was immediately sent off after a tackle with David Carmo. Another famous case was Marcelo, a former Real Madrid player, who at the time was playing for Fulminense.

The fact is that the Sporting player didn't even receive a yellow card and can play against FC Porto on Monday.

However, it should be noted that, in a nice gesture, the Sporting player made sure to speak a second time with his fellow professional and apologize for the tackle. The AVS forward will undergo surgery this Saturday for the fibula and tibia fracture.
