A disgusting elbow left its mark.
Joel Asoro could not eat or drink after the victory over Elfsburg.
– I feel paralyzed in half of my face, says the attacker.
The Sportbladet envoy is advancing fast Joel Asoro in the mixed region.
How is it going?
– All right, the zookeeper replies.
Then he begins to gently massage the right half of his face.
– But I’m dead. I am in so much pain I can hardly speak.
Anger: What are you doing?
He was hit with his elbow in the jaw/clavicle by Emmanuel Boateng of Elfsborg in the first half. The blow was hit, although Asuro managed to finish the match.
– He got a real blow to his jaw, almost to the ear. elbow. It was ugly, I have to say. I don’t know if Boateng is mad at me? His colleague (Baidu) tried to pull me out but I just said, “What are you doing? Don’t you understand that I’m sitting here in pain?”
– I don’t moan. This is what happens in games and you have to accept it.
You can’t drink or eat
But the elbow led to some practical problems after the fight. Djurgården is going through a tough schedule, and the players need all the energy and recovery they can get, but it hasn’t been easy for Asuro. He can neither eat nor drink after that.
– It hurts so much. I kind of can’t eat. It’s serious to talk about paralysis but I feel almost paralyzed on part of my face. I couldn’t even drink water after that. I didn’t get anything. I have a full bottle here.
How should you get nutrition?
– I should suck something out of a pack like the one with liquid protein. It will probably continue later if I don’t have to chew or something.
“Maybe you wake up with a swollen face?”
What do the doctors say?
– I have to take it easy. Take Alvedon if it starts to hurt your head.
Could the jawbone or zygomatic bone have been seriously injured? Broken or cracked?
– I do not wish. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow. I might wake up with a completely swollen face.
Djurgarden is at the top after winning 2-1 at Elfsburg. But now a hellish schedule awaits with two games a week for the entire fall.
If you want something with your football, you have to get used to it. This is how you work abroad. In fact, these many matches are the norm. If we want to be in Europe, we have to do it. It’s hard, but we can do it.
