Jacob Shaffleburg suffers pulmonary collapse and fractures in MLS

Jacob Shaffleburg, from Los Angeles, 26 years old, suffered a collapsed lung and broken ribs after a late tackle against Seattle Sounders in MLS, and was rushed to the hospital. The incident left the winger out of the upcoming matches and without a recovery schedule announced by the club.

The tackle, considered very late, caused the collapsed lung and multiple rib fractures.

While Shaffleburg was recovering, defender Jackson Ragen, 1.98 meters tall and 18 kilograms heavier than him, lunged at him with enormous force.

The Canadian was rushed to the hospital after the incident.

The California club has not yet released a recovery schedule for the player.

However, it confirmed that Shaffleburg suffered multiple rib fractures and a pneumothorax, which is a collapsed lung.

This tragedy comes after the death of Jesús de Miguel, Tenerife's striker, who received a hard blow to the chest after a clash with Andorra's goalkeeper, Jesús Owono.

In recent hours another terrible episode has occurred as a result of a new collision.

The photo of the incident shows Jacob Shaffleburg lying on the ground, captured by journalist Yaca Garcia‑Planas.
