On his way to the dressing room, the leftback kicked against a door and punched a window in anger. Due to a big cut in the arm he was immediately taken to the hospital, reports Xinhua.
During the surgery Saturday, "damage in multiple structures in his forearm was revealed", according to a statement by the medical staff of PSV.
