Romani Creque, a defender for Barnet FC in the English Football League (EFL) League 2 (fourth tier), suffered a horrific facial injury.

The British media outlet "The Sun" reported on the 19th (Korean time) that "Creque sustained severe facial injuries during a match against Tranmere Rovers, requiring the removal of three teeth from his lip."

The day before, in the match against Tranmere, Creque was caught by a rough tackle from opposing player Joel Senior and slammed his face hard into the ground. The club's medical staff immediately transported him to a hospital.

Detailed examinations revealed that, fortunately, there were no serious additional injuries such as fractures. Medical staff extracted three teeth that had pierced through his lip and performed suturing surgery. Creque was safely discharged from the hospital that same evening.

Immediately after the surgery, he shared his condition via social media (SNS), stating, "Five hours have passed. Three teeth came out through my lip and my sternum hurts, but I am okay. Thank you to the fans who are worried."

Barnet's teammates burned with fighting spirit for their injured teammate. Barnet ended the first half trailing, but in the second half, Kabongo Chimanga scored a brace, securing a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory.

Barnet, managed by Dean Brennan, rose to second place in the league with this win, closing in on leader Salford City by just one point. The team is aiming for promotion to League 1 (third tier) next season after scoring a league-high 22 goals this season.

Recently, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli, who has been desperately searching for a new club, also joined Barnet's training sessions, drawing attention.
