The diagnosis revealed that he had three broken ribs and fluid in his lungs. Doctors had to perform a drainage procedure to treat the dangerous condition. According to Uruguayan media, the former striker is currently in stable condition and will remain in hospital for observation until October 21.

Despite the serious injury, Forlan insisted there was no “malice” from the opposing player in the collision. Fans were quick to send their words of encouragement and wish him a speedy recovery.

On the international stage, Forlan scored 36 goals in 112 matches for the Uruguay team and especially shone at the 2010 World Cup when he won the Golden Ball award for the best player of the tournament.
