Bruno Rodriguez will appear in shorts on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes, to kick off the Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and AC Ajaccio, two of his former clubs. It may be a detail for you, but for him it means a lot. Because the former striker invited by PSG, now 50, had his right leg amputated, below the knee, in March 2022.
“I asked to tread the lawn of the Park which is for me the most beautiful stadium in France with my prosthesis because I want to raise awareness,” said Rodriguez. At Parisianwhich reveals the information.
Represent amputees
The ex-player had to resolve to undergo this heavy surgery because of intolerable pain, caused by the absence of cartilage after too many recourses to infiltrations during his career.
Despite “a little apprehension”, Rodriguez, now settled in his native Corsica, wants to expose his prosthesis to the public, to represent amputees.
