FC Džiugas player Bacary Sané faces a lengthy recovery after a severe injury during a match against Vilnius "Žalgiris." The Senegalese footballer sustained a fracture in his cheekbone in two places, an injury that necessitated a complex, three-hour surgery.

After the tests performed following the injury sustained in yesterday's match against Vilnius "Žalgiris," it was found that the cheekbone was fractured in two places. The operation lasted about 3 hours and was complex and required a lot of effort. Three incisions were made and five metal plates were inserted. Bacary is feeling better today than yesterday, but he faces a long and difficult recovery process. This season is already over for him, and he will have to spend at least three months without football. FC "Džiugas" club and the entire community send Bacary strength and support. His health and smooth recovery are most important right now.

The club and its community have sent messages of strength and support to Sané, emphasizing that his health and recovery are the top priorities. However, the club also raised concerns regarding the on-field officiating during the match where the injury occurred.

FC Džiugas noted that the foul leading to Sané's injury was not penalized, despite the severe consequences for the player. The club questioned the referees' decisions and their assessment of dangerous plays, suggesting that immediate decisions carry significant responsibility. They hope the situation will be evaluated responsibly, highlighting the potential repercussions of missed or improperly assessed incidents.

We also cannot fail to mention the episode during which Bacary suffered the injury. A foul in this episode was not recorded, although the consequences of the collision were extremely severe for the player. Such moments raise questions about the referees' decisions and their evaluation on the field. The referee's decision is made in an instant, but along with it comes responsibility for how dangerous episodes are assessed. We hope that this situation will be evaluated responsibly, because today we see what can happen with an episode that is not noticed or evaluated in time.
