Chelsea defender Trevor Chalobah (26) suffered a horrific injury during the match that completely twisted his ankle. Fortunately, the fracture appears to have been avoided.
Chelsea lost 0-3 at home in the second round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at Stamford Bridge in London on the 18th (Korea time). Chelsea, who lost 2-5 on the road in the first leg, failed to advance to the quarterfinals with a combined score of 2-8.
Not only the defeat, but also the bad luck of the main player getting hurt. Britain's The Sun said on the same day, "A horrific photo of Charova's foot bent upside down was released. It is fortunate that the fracture was avoided," he reported.
Chalova was replaced by an injury at the end of the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) against PSG on the 12th. After colliding with Ashraf Hakimi, he fell to the ground when his right leg was caught in the grass and bent down. Hakimi's right foot turned nearly 180 degrees as she stepped on Chalobah's ankle, and Hakimi collapsed on it and weighed in.
The degree of injury was so serious that the TV broadcast camera did not show the replay at the time. Chalobah was taken off on a stretcher after emergency treatment.
However, Chalobah miraculously escaped a broken bone. Posting a picture of the time when his ankle was grotesquely bent on his Instagram story, he said, "Lord, all I can say is thank you. "My ankle should have been broken," he said. He then quoted the verse of Bible Psalm 91 and added, "I will praise the Lord in any situation, and thank you for protecting me."
At the time, when Chalova complained of great pain, both team players expressed serious concern. Chelsea have already run out of five replacement cards, so they had to hang on to 10 players for the rest of the day.
Chelsea manager Liam Rosenier said after the game, "Charlova herself was very worried. We will check the condition through a thorough examination tomorrow, he said. "I'm praying that it's not as serious an injury as I first feared."
Recently, Chelsea have been suffering from severe defensive line injuries. Captain Reece James left with a hamstring injury, and even backup Marlo Gusto was absent due to illness. Chalobah started as a right-back on the day, and Mamadou Sarr and Jorel Harto had temporarily worked together for the center-back line.
To make matters worse, Chelsea's home fans booed Toshin Adarabioyo, who was replaced in the second half.
Meanwhile, Korean national team and PSG striker Lee Kang-in was substituted in the 28th minute of the second half of the day and played for about 17 minutes, recording 15 ball touches, 0 shots, and 92% pass success rate (11 out of 12).
