Marlon suffers serious leg fracture as Grêmio beat Vitória | OneFootball

Grêmio left-back Marlon suffered a serious fracture to his right leg during the second half of Thursday night’s match against Vitória at the Arena, according to Globo.com.

The injury followed a challenge with Caíque. The incident sparked immediate distress on the pitch and in the stands, with players, including Willian, in tears.

An ambulance took Marlon from the field with his leg immobilised. Supporters chanted his name as he departed, and Vitória swiftly issued a message of solidarity.

The defender was returning after missing the previous match against Chapecoense because of a virus. He captained the side on his comeback.

Grêmio won 2-0, the goals coming via a Camutanga own goal and a strike from Amuzu.
