Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has revealed that he recently pulled out of a game due to concerns about potentially fatal concussions. The star admitted to feeling abnormally fatigued and experiencing severe eye fatigue after performing headers during a match, prompting him to seek medical advice.
After taking a test from a doctor at the staff’s recommendation, Varane made the decision not to play in the next match. The 28-year-old also admitted to playing through a head injury at the 2014 World Cup, where he realized the potentially fatal consequences of repeated concussions.
Varane has a history of injuries, including suffering a heavy knock in a previous game against Getafe which led to errors in a Champions League match against Manchester City in 2020. Despite these setbacks, the French international has managed 29 appearances this season for Manchester United in all competitions.
The defender has also managed to fight his way back into the starting lineup after falling down the pecking order under former manager Erik ten Hag. Varane’s commitment to his health and safety highlights the importance of prioritizing player well-being in professional sports.
As Varane continues to excel on the field, fans are hopeful that he will stay injury-free and continue to make valuable contributions to the team. Stay tuned to Forever Sports Online for more updates on Varane’s journey with Manchester United.
