Paul Nardi suffered a serious injury in the fifth round of the Conference League group stage match.
The match in the fifth round of the group round of the Conference League for the Belgian Ghent was pleasant and at the same time very sad. We remind you that the team easily defeated Luhansk Zarya 4:1 and got a place in the playoffs of the tournament.
At the same time, Ghent lost goalkeeper Paul Nardi for a long time. As reported in page Belgian club on social networks, the Frenchman broke his leg.
Moreover, he did it in a rather unusual way. The incident happened in the middle of the second half. The 29-year-old goalkeeper suffered a compound fracture while taking a goal kick.
In the 65th minute of the match, the goalkeeper, under pressure from a Black and White player, knocked the ball onto the field. Despite acting normally, Nardi fell to the grass, screaming in pain. As it happened, the goalkeeper suffered an ankle fracture out of the blue – Vladislav Bugai did not touch him. The footballer cannot leave the field on his own and needs medical help.

Head coach Hein Vanhaesebrouck said the event took the team by surprise. “He just came back from a head injury. And now this. Now we’ll have to wait and see,” he said.
Nardi has made 13 appearances for Gent in all competitions this season. The goalkeeper has been playing for the club since September 2022.
