LONDON, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese under-23
footballer Zheng Tao was diagnosed as comminuted jaw fracture from a mass brawl
with England Championship club Queens Park Rangers reserve team on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old left fullback was sent to a hospital
near the QPR training ground in Harlington, London, after being knocked
unconscious.
"I was surrounded by about five players at that
moment," Zheng recalled.
"One of them knocked me down from behind, and they
began to kick me. I was kicked right on the jaw. I have no idea of who did that,
" he said.
"Our team doctor told me I lost consciousness within
five minutes, that's just too horrible. And now I have to rest for at least
three months. That is in no doubt a catastrophic blow to me," he added.
