Former France National Team Player Nearly Loses Leg

Former France national team player and ex-Olympique Lyonnais footballer Sidney Govou has spoken about a difficult situation he faced in 2013. That year, he was scheduled to undergo a minor surgical procedure.

However, during the operation, he contracted an infection, which resulted in the risk of losing his leg. "The pain was so severe that the doctor told me amputating my leg might be the best solution.

At that time, the pain was overpowering, and I was constantly under the influence of morphine. But I refused to accept that," Derbyderbyderby.it quotes Sidney Govou as saying.

Sidney Govou retired from professional football in 2016. He played a total of 49 matches for the France national team.
