Cádiz’s draw against Real Sociedad 0-0 at the Reale Arena seems like great news for Sergio González’s men, who are fighting for permanence in LaLiga Santander, but the fact was clouded by an incident that left them in bad shape.

Fali, defender of the Cadiz, suffered a very hard crash with Mikel Merino who left him lying semi-conscious on the ground and requiring immediate medical attention, being removed from the field on a stretcher and with a neck brace on the way to the hospital.

The Andalusian club confirmed it on its Twitter. “Fali Giménez has been transferred to the hospital for complementary tests after suffer a facial contusion and cervical sprain in the final stretch of the match“, the statement read.
