Real Madrid midfielder Marc Cucalon was forced to end his playing career at the age of 19. The reason for such an early departure from professional sports was a rare complication after an injury, reports Relevo.
According to the source, the midfielder tore his cruciate ligaments during a Youth Champions League match in 2022. During surgery, a bacterium entered the football player’s joint cartilage, causing him to develop an infection that caused a rare complication. Now the athlete cannot fully restore the ligaments and return to training at full load.
It is noted that Real will continue to provide financial support to the player and may offer him a position at the club.
