Big scare for Mascherano's Sub 20: Buonanotte fell badly and was removed on a stretcher

The debut of the Argentina Under 20 National Team in the South American Cup in Colombia ended with a great scare: the talented midfielder Facundo Buonanotte (18 years old) came out on a stretcher and with an orthopedic neck and was transferred by ambulance to a medical center due to a strong fall that he suffered after jumping to pitch.

There were six minutes left before the end of the duel when Juvenil, who had entered 15 minutes into the second half, jumped to try to win a ball from above and fell on his back to the ground on his way down and -after a whiplash- hit his head against The grass.

The former Rosario Central thought that he was going to divide the ball with the Paraguayan Quintana, but he ran so that Buonanotte lost reference. 

Motionless, his teammates surrounded him so that the cameras would not capture the images and the referee asked for the immediate entry of the doctors.

Paramedics fitted him with a neck brace and immobilized him on a stretcher.

As play resumed, the midfielder was taken away by ambulance.

It must be said that Buonanotte never lost consciousness and even seemed to ask to be picked up to continue playing.

In any case, the historic AFA doctor, Donato

Villani, together with his collaborator, Juan Cruz Goycochea, Sergio's son, decided to immobilize the footballer as a precaution and transfer him to a nearby clinic to carry out the corresponding studies.

It is worth remembering that Buonanotte is one of the figures in the cast led by Mascherano.

Together with Nicolás Paz, from Real Madrid, they were the only two on loan who play for teams abroad.

Last November, Buonanotte was sold by Rosario Central to English Brighton for eleven and a half million euros with bonuses included.
