At Cercle de Bruges, we are not satisfied that no red card was awarded for the elbow clearly given to Christiaan Ravych. The club reacted and gave a medical update regarding their defender.
Christiaan Ravych was the victim of a nasty nudge from Daan Heymans on Saturday evening. And against all expectations, the latter did not even receive a red card for his gesture, which many struggle to understand.
The refereeing, however, seems to justify this decision, since the VAR did not intervene and the referee saw no reason to sanction the gesture. Nevertheless, the Cercle de Bruges decided to react.
“Cercle de Bruges is contacting the Department of Professional Referees to discuss the situation in detail, in particular to understand why VAR did not intervene in order to protect the physical integrity of the player,” the club said in a press release. on its website.
-An update was also given regarding Ravych’s injury. As a reminder, the player was taken to hospital before the end of the match. The club now announces that he suffers from a fractured eye socket.
“It is not yet clear how long Ravych will be absent. This will be clarified in the coming days. Our medical staff is examining the options and doing everything possible to get Christiaan back on his feet as quickly as possible,” concludes the Circle.
