31 year old shanghai shenhua striker, Demba Ba fractured his left tibia on
Sunday, after a terrible contact with shanghai sipg defender, sun xiang.
Well after the match, the Senegal forward's coach Gregorio
Manzano said the injury "could end his professional career".
Demba Ba
has confirmed he does not plan to retire from football, despite suffering the
horrific injury.
Speaking from his hospital bed in Shanghai,
China, former premier league striker Demba Ba said:
“This is a really bad injury but I know
I can overcome it. I won’t call time on my career, that’s for sure. They
haven’t done the full operation because I told them to wait. I wanted to go to
Europe to have it done but when I learned that was not possible I arranged with
the doctor here to sort me out a French surgeon who should arrive shortly. He
will operate on me.”
“There are other players who have
returned from similar injuries, like Hatem Ben Arfa,” he added. “Something
similar happened to me earlier in my career and the treatment options are much
better now. I think I’ll make a speedier return this time.
“The season here ends in November and
the new one starts in March. I’ll do my best to return in time for the season
after that.”
