Australian Umpire Under Observation After Suffering Facial Injury While Officiating
Tony de Nobrega, an Australian umpire, copped a nasty blow to his face while officiating a match at the Charles Veryard Reserve in Perth. De Nobrega ended up in the hospital after a straight drive from a batter hit him on his face, leading to brutal facial injuries. The incident caught the attention of fans after a Facebook post of WASTCA Umpires Association went viral on social media. Despite not having any broken bones, the doctors might be forced to operate on Nobrega, who is currently under observation at a local hospital.
