Jude Bellingham injured his head during the BVB game in Mainz, but continued to play afterwards. The club has received a lot of criticism for this.
BVB received severe criticism on social media for dealing with Jude Bellingham during the game against Mainz 05 (1-0). The trigger was the young Englishman’s head injury.
The background: In the 74th minute, Bellingham and his opponent Niklas Tauer rattled their heads in an aerial duel and both went down hard. Bellingham initially remained motionless before being brought into the dressing room under medical supervision.
“I have absolutely no idea about medicine, but that looks like a replacement,” commented DAZN commentator Uli Lever on the scene and also received encouragement from his co-commentator Maximilian Nicu: “For safety reasons alone.”
Reinier was already available as a substitute, but a short time later the 18-year-old Bellingham came back – and was then on the pitch until the final whistle. As the “Express” reports, Bellingham overruled the BVB doctors, who wanted to convince him of a substitution on the way to the catacombs. Mainz player Tauer, on the other hand, was immediately replaced.
Jude Bellingham: “Responsible, of course”
Marco Rose also commented on the incident after the game and emphasized that BVB acted responsibly. “He was in the cabin with the doctor, suddenly he was standing next to me again. I asked the doctor again if everything had been checked. We said that we would watch how he behaved for a minute or two,” explained Rose: “Of course we are responsible.”
As a result, there was great criticism of BVB’s handling of its youngster on social media. “Can we PLEASE finally have independent doctors who decide whether a player can play again after a head injury? Also a shame that BVB didn’t come up with the idea of replacing Bellingham immediately,” wrote a user on Twitter during many others described BVB’s decision as “irresponsible”.
Head injuries in football have been a hot topic for a long time. In many places, the introduction of a “concussion protocol” is being called for, as is known from the NFL, for example.
