The situation occurs in the 45+2 minute of the match. Giancarlo Gallifuoco on the side of Kuala Lumpur plunged into the opponent and interacted with Theerathon's knee. Due to the passive position, Theerathon could not avoid a strong collision, causing his knee joint to be broken back.
The collision immediately forced the Thai international to leave the field on an ambulance. Although motionoco was a yellow card for this action, he was surprised by the seriousness of the injury he had caused.
Before leaving the field, Theerathon had a great assist to help his teammate score the only goal in the 37th minute, helping Buriram win 1-0, thereby officially winning a ticket to the semi-finals of the 2024-2025 Southeast Asian Club Championship in 2nd place in Group B.
However, this injury may make Theerathon miss an important confrontation between Buriram and BG Pathum United in the round of 16 of the Thai League Cup team on February 26. In particular, BG Pathum is also the opponent of Buriram in the semi -finals of Southeast Asian clubs.
Theerathon Bunmathan, along with Chanathip Songkrasin, are bright stars in Thai football. After their successes in Japan, the two returned home in 2021 and 2023. Both are also important factors in the Thai national team.
