The game between Petrolul Ploiesti and FC Hermannstadt (0:0) was marked by a serious injury to Dragos Janka, which he received in the 6th minute after a careless intervention by Valentyn Shyka.

Valentyn Tsyku regrets: “I put myself in his place. I feel like I’ve done it.”

Valentyn Shyka was withdrawn after an intervention on Dragos Janka, and the Hermannstadt player has to undergo surgery for an open fracture of the fibula.

At the end of the game, the Petrol captain was visibly shaken by the first-half incident and said he had no intention of injuring the Sibiu player.

“I want to make a public apology to Dragos Janko, his family, the Hermannstadt club. Sorry. At first I had the impression that I faced the ball to slip.

It didn’t even occur to me what could happen. I hope everything will be fine. All my strength and prayers are directed towards him. I hope he comes back soon. I regret everything.

It was not a problem for me to hit him on purpose, to make an unsportsmanlike gesture. I had a hard time seeing the phase. It is clear that I do not intend to. It is very difficult for me.

I put myself in his place. I feel like I made it myself. All my thoughts and strength are directed at him to recover.

I’m afraid of suspension, I still want to play football” – said Valentin Tsikfor DigiSport.
