Overview
- Bosnich injured his right leg while saving a penalty from former AFL chief Gillon McLachlan during a celebrity shootout on Friday and collapsed at the promotional event.
- Onlookers and host Archie Thompson initially thought the fall was a prank but medical staff helped Bosnich from the field and he was pictured with ice before being taken to hospital for scans.
- Bosnich has confirmed to Channel Nine that scans showed a ruptured quadriceps and that he will require an operation to repair the muscle.
- The injury puts his scheduled role as a pundit for Australia’s coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America at risk and may require weeks to months of recovery depending on surgical outcome.
- Bosnich is a 54-year-old former international goalkeeper with Premier League spells at Manchester United, Aston Villa and Chelsea and has an established media career that is now disrupted by this injury.
