Serious crash in Frankfurt: latest on HSV's Torunarigha! | OneFootball

HSV’s imminently important 2-1 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt was temporarily overshadowed by a shocking moment.

In the 80th minute, HSV defender Jordan Torunarigha collided heavily with Ansgar Knauff and remained lying on the turf, dazed. Teammates, staff, and even opposing player Knauff rushed over immediately to look after the 28-year-old.

Goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes described the situation particularly vividly after the final whistle. “I don’t know exactly what happened. But he was pretty out of it and dazed. His eyes were closed. When one of your own is lying on the ground and then the medics come with the stretcher, of course that’s not what you want to see,” the Mopo quoted the goalkeeper as saying. But everyone involved reacted quickly and correctly afterward.

Nevertheless, the defender will be closely monitored in the coming days. At present, however, he is not expected to miss the upcoming home match against SC Freiburg (10 May, 3:30 p.m.). That is important news for HSV. Because: in recent months, Torunarigha has established himself as a reliable presence in defense. In the absence of Luka Vuskovic, he recently even took over the role of central center-back.

He was also playing well in Frankfurt until he was substituted. The left-footer won three of his four ground duels and recorded an impressive 12 clearances.
