However, he accidentally stepped on Sánchez's leg, causing the defender to suffer a compound fracture

Sánchez was immediately taken to the hospital, where he underwent surgery and expected to be out for at least six months.

Marcelo was shown a straight red card for the challenge, and he was visibly distraught as he left the field

He later apologized to Sánchez on social media, saying that he "never intended to hurt him."
