Busquets played with a protective mask against Levante

As we advance in ACE, Sergio Busquets played against Levante with a facial protective mask. It is a special mask: it is open so as not to impede vision, exclusively protecting the cheekbones. To get an idea, slightly similar in design to the helmet worn by goalkeeper Peter Czech at Chelsea.

The objective of this protection is that Busquets feel safe after suffering a facial contusion and a fissure in the upper jaw after the collision with Savic in a divided aerial ball, which forced him to leave the field, visibly shocked. The player was admitted to the hospital, but subsequent tests ruled out a brain injury, so he was discharged from hospital and did not need to spend the night for observation.

The problem the following days for the player was to choose the right mask that allowed him above all to maintain the field of vision. After trying several models, he definitely chose an open one, which allows him a perfect view., but it protects your cheekbones and cheeks.
