He suffered 6 fractures .. Castanee undergoes a "six hour" surgery

Belgium right-back Timothy Castagne, who suffered six fractures in his face during last Saturday's match against Russia in the first round of the group stage of the European Football Championship, underwent surgery on Wednesday, which lasted six hours, according to the Football Association in his country.

In his press conference on the eve of Denmark's meeting in Copenhagen in the second round of the group competition, the Spanish coach of the Belgium national team, Roberto Martinez, said, "Our thoughts are with Thiem, whose participation in the European Cup has ended."

Castanee will not be able to continue his career in the continental championship with the "Red Devils" after suffering six fractures on Saturday in a 3-0 victory over Russia in St. Petersburg.

Leicester City full-back collided with Russian Dalar Kozaev in the 27th minute and was replaced by Thomas Meunier, who scored a goal and assisted.

And according to what local media reported on the Belgian medical team, if Castane had received the blow in the temple area, his career would have "ended in St. Petersburg."

According to the same source, the 25-year-old will be absent from the stadiums for two months.
