TS Galaxy veteran midfielder Bernard Parker was in high spirits at the hospital when the club’s technical team paid him a visit.
Parker suffered a horror injury in Wednesday’s Carling Knockout Cup game against Mamelodi Sundowns, and he may have played his final game at professional level as a result.
Parker broke his leg following a dangerous challenge by Sundowns midfielder Bongani Zungu in the game. He had to be stretchered off and immediately taken to hospital. Zungu was shown a straight red card for the challenge.
Parker is 37 years old, and the injury looked very bad from the replays. He may not be able to recover fully and return to professional football.
TS Galaxy dedicated their victory over Sundowns to Parker. The club posted a message on Twitter, saying: “We’ve lost a soldier whom we shall dearly miss as our journey on the battlefield continues. Come back stronger, Die Hond! We dedicate last night’s victory to you❤️”
We wish Parker a speedy recovery.
