Attacked, Bednarek ends up injured and is a doubt for Benfica v FC Porto | OneFootball

Farioli addressed Bednarek's injury and informed about the planned medical procedures: “We have to do an MRI tomorrow because there is a problem with his rib. He was hit, I don't know if it was with the elbow. It's up to the League to act accordingly, because it is clearly unsportsmanlike conduct. It's very sad to see this kind of thing, but now we turn the page and prepare for Sunday's game in Lisbon, which is the most important for us.”

Was there a lack of sanction for the episode with Bednarek? “Yes. The footage was very clear. He was hit with the ball far away just to be injured. It's an unbelievable gesture. The footage showed clear words from a Sporting player, Hjulmand always goes to pressure the referee in every play, it's embarrassing to see, but it is what it is.”
