That night, after clearing layers of security checks at the base hospital, Chen Yu met with the France Team head coach, Domenech, and Cisse, who had suffered a broken leg.
Accompanying them were officials from the French Football Federation. The entire group looked as though they were attending a funeral.
Following the incident, Chen Yu also received a call from Wenger. Cisse, just two months shy of his twenty-fifth birthday, was brimming with talent, and Wenger valued him highly.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chen Yu followed standard procedure and sent Cisse for X-rays. Upon first glance, the situation was blatantly obvious. Both his right tibia and fibula were fractured.
The fractures themselves were not a massive issue. For professional players, broken bones were actually considered straightforward physical injuries. Torn tendons and snapped ligaments were where the real trouble lay.
