Another scare at the Euro. Mario Fernandes had to leave on a stretcher to the hospital after a strong blow during the Finland – Russia on Wednesday. The Russian latera, a Brazilian national, left the stadium on a stretcher heading to the hospital and the Russian Federation confirmed that, in the absence of more evidence, he suffers a thoracic spine injury.
It all happened in the 25th minute of the duel between Finland and Russia in Saint Petersburg. There, Mario Fernandes fell to the ground in a very bad way and his clear gestures of pain showed that something was happening. The worst was soon feared after what he suffered last Saturday after Eriksen was struck down during Denmark – Finland .
The side, after being assisted by the medical services, had to leave the field in a collar and on a stretcher to be taken by ambulance urgently to the nearest hospital. In the absence of further evidence, the Russian Federation confirmed that he suffers a thoracic spine injury.
