The FIFA virus even affects referees

The cruciate ligament epidemic continues to wreak havoc. After Jurriën Timber, Éder Militão, Gavi and Neymar recently, even referees are now affected by the virus.

While officiating the Bundesliga match between Frankfurt and Stuttgart this Saturday, referee Felix Brych had to give up his duties after suffering a serious knee injury. For his 344th professional outing, a record equaled on this occasion, the German referee would probably have hoped for something else.
