The players were deeply shocked when Raoul Petretta was treated by seven paramedics in the home game against St. Gallen towards the end of the first half. Fabian Frei hides his face with both hands, FCSG striker Jérémy Guillemenot remains rigid. Timm Klose and Lukas Görtler look on in disbelief, try to explain the situation …
What happened? Not much really. At least you don’t see it in the television pictures. Petretta heads a ball, but then immediately grabs the right side of the head and slowly falls to the ground.
Petretta is cared for in the square for ten minutes before he, wearing a ruff, is transported and taken to the hospital. At first there is great uncertainty. The left back can no longer move his head, it is speculated. Authorities say he has neck problems.
“Already much better”
On Sunday evening, FC Basel can provide more detailed information: the player has “suffered an upper spinal cord tremor according to initial findings.” This is “comparable to a concussion,” according to the FCB.
Petretta “is already much better.” Y: It has no cross-sectional symptoms. More clarifications for hospitalized patients would follow in the coming days. (mpe)
