Peter Bosz Doesn’t Understand The Mild Reaction to FC Twente Defender Robin Pröpper’s Tackle on Alassane Pléa, which resulted in a serious knee injury. The PSV Striker is expected to be out for months.

“I don’t blame Robin Pröpper,” Bosz Continued. “He’s not doing it on purpose. But this was really reckless. It has nothing to do with hardness. If you can’t Judge that is a reckless tackle … I don’t understand any of that. Ridiculous.”
Pröpper Apologized
