Los Angeles FC winger Jacob Shaffleburg has suffered multiple rib fractures and a collapsed lung following a heavy challenge by Jackson Ragen. The incident occurred during an MLS match when the 6-foot-6 defender knocked the 26-year-old winger off the pitch, resulting in a yellow card for Ragen. Shaffleburg was immediately taken to the hospital following the collision.
LAFC has reportedly confirmed the Canadian winger's injuries, including a pneumothorax, though the club has yet to provide a definitive recovery timeline. Consequently, Shaffleburg appears very unlikely to participate in the upcoming MLS playoffs, with fans widely criticizing the referee's decision not to issue a red card.
