Shock on the Football Field: Erhan Mašović Survives Lung Collapse!
Erhan Mašović, the 26-year-old Serbian footballer and defender for German club Bochum, has survived a nightmare that could have changed his life! During the last training session before preparations, Mašović took a hit to his chest area but had no idea it would be the start of his troubles. He continued his activities normally, but after a flight, he began feeling increasing pressure and discomfort in his lungs.
Soon, the real shock came – a lung collapse! He was urgently hospitalized and immediately operated on. Thanks to the quick and efficient intervention of Bochum’s medical team, his lung function was restored with a minor surgical procedure using thoracic drainage. Mašović will have to take a two-month break but now feels better and hopes for a speedy recovery.
A Similar Case in the Bundesliga
This incident reminds us of Philipp Hofmann, Bochum’s striker, who in early May suffered a lung collapse after breaking a rib during a match. Hofmann also had to undergo emergency surgery and take a break for several weeks. Clearly, football in the Bundesliga is not just a battle on the pitch but a fight for health and life.
Mašović – Serbian National with Great Potential
Erhan Mašović has been with Bochum for five years, playing 94 matches and scoring five goals. Although the club recently got relegated to the second division, Mašović remains an important player. With five appearances for the Serbian national team, he is considered a player for the future. However, this health issue has seriously shaken his career.
What’s Next?
As Mašović recovers, everyone wonders – will he return to the pitch as before? A lung collapse is no small matter, and footballers are often exposed to risks ordinary people can’t imagine. Will medical care and rest be enough to get him back in shape? Mašović himself says he feels better, but a two-month break is inevitable.
Conclusion
This story is a warning to all – health is the most important thing, and sport can be a cruel game. Erhan Mašović was lucky the medical team acted in time, but how many other footballers go through such dramas? While fans wait for his return, we can’t help but ask – how safe is football really?
