At this sight, even the opponent has to look the other way …
In the World Cup tie between Colombia and Venezuela (0-0) there is a terrible scenario on Friday night in Barranquilla. A few minutes after the kick-off, Colombian and Leverkusen defender Santiago Arias (28) was seriously injured.
Horror wound for the Leverkusen star!
What happened? In the race duel in the 8th minute, Darwin Machís seems faster with the ball, but Arias runs to the right. Arias stretches, stretches his left leg forward, wants to win the ball himself. He slides along the ground, collides with Machís, twisting his leg in a duel with the striker. Then the foot is completely twisted, facing the other way. The heel points inward, the toes rotate outward and to the left. Arias immediately grabs onto the broken leg, screams in pain, rolls from side to side on the grass.

When Machís’s opponent acknowledges the injury, he immediately indicates that something is wrong. He himself crosses his arms over his head, closes his eyes, walks away from the scene. Teammates and professionals from Venezuela invite doctors to take over the Leverkusen loan. Arias is brought from the field on a stretcher, Machís sees the red card. After the referee saw the scene again on television, he withdrew the card.
Arias has only played one game for Leverkusen but was one of Bosz’s best players in the 1-1 draw in Stuttgart last week (BILD 2 ranking). Now it will probably be four to six months for the team. There is no official diagnosis yet.
