The player injured is from the team Espérance Sportive de Tunis, also known as ES Tunis, which is a club based in Tunisia. However, what’s more, captivating is that the goalkeeper who hit him plays for the same national team – Libya.
Yes, you read it right. The goalkeeper and the player injured play for the same national team; however, during this match, the striker and goalkeeper were in opposing clubs.
The former WWE champion seemingly got hold of the clip and took to Twitter to share his reaction for the same.
