An alarming incident unfolded during the second round of the World Cup group stage match between Ivory Coast and Germany, as defender Wilfried Singo was unable to continue playing and left the field in tears.
Singo, who plays for Galatasaray, requested a substitution while clutching his thigh, an area previously affected by injury. This raises serious concerns as he has experienced a similar injury in the past, and initial reports indicate that this could be a recurrence.
This incident marks the third issue with the same muscle area for Singo in the last 7–8 months, heightening the risk of future injuries. The potential loss of Singo poses a significant challenge for the Elephants as they approach a critical group decider against Curaçao.
