Marcin Wasilewski Broken Leg Video

Marcin Wasilewski is a soccer player who plays the defender position for the Polish national team and for the RSC Anderlect team. He has an impressive goal record for a defensive player. On August 30, 2009, he suffered an open leg fracture of the fibia and tibia in the 24th minute of what later became a 1-1 tie in a game between Anderlect and Standard Liege.

A Standard Liege player, Axel Witsel, made a challenge that knocked him to the ground and broke his leg. Witsel received sanctions for the offense and was later suspended for eight games. Wasilewski underwent surgery for the fractures.

Nearly a year later, on May 8, 2010, Wasilewski made a triumphant comeback to the game.

This video shows his injury followed by the events that ensued with a very haunting classical score in the background.
