An Argentinos Juniors defender, Luciano Sanchez, s¥ffered a full dislocation of his left knee on Tuesday during a Copa Libertadores match in Buenos Aires.
The 29-year-old footballer s¥ffered the serious inj¥ry after a challenge by veteran left-back Marcelo, now playing for Brazil’s Fluminense. His teammates initially believed he had brok£n his leg, but a medical report published by the club said it was a full dislocation.
The incident occurred as Marcelo, known for his footwork and exceptional skill, maneuvered his way past his opponents, unintentionally causing a shocking inj¥ry to Sanchez. In a sequence of events that left spectators shocked, Marcelo’s supporting leg, while in mid-stride, landed heavily on Sanchez’s leg.
The former Real Madrid player was sent off in tears as the Argentinian screamed on the pitch, surrounded by concerned players on both teams. The incident took place in the 56th minute of the match, which finished 1-1.
