“The main thing is that we managed to avoid a fracture” – Sazonov’s father about the player’s injury

Andrei Sazonov, the father of Torino defender Saba Sazonov, expressed joy that the Italian team player was able to avoid a fracture.

The defender was injured in the 27th minute of the seventh round match of the Italian Championship with Verona and was replaced.

— The Russian press approached this issue very unprofessionally. This is from the series: if a player lays down in the 20th minute, it means he was injured in the 20th minute. But no, Saba was injured in the fourth minute by an opposing player who hit his foot with his spikes.

Saba played until the 20th minute, then his foot became swollen and the pain was unbearable. He called the doctors, waited until the 27th minute, and was replaced. Now the most important thing is that there is no fracture, because there was a risk. He is recovering. Will you be ready for the next match? The doctors and Saba are trying,” Metaratings.ru quotes the footballer’s father as saying.
