Luckily, the goalkeeper survived the incident as he currently returned to the pitch. For him, the only thing that reminded him of the incident is a burn on his chest, based on the report.

“It was difficult to breathe, but that’s about it,” 

“It’s getting better and better now. Things are back to normal.”

Zaborovsky signed a contract with his club’s senior team, which was something he had planned before the mishap.
