One of\u00a0Spain<\/span>\u2018s most celebrated matadors was targeted in a very painful place by a bull during a gruesome goring.<\/p>\n

Morante de la Puebla, widely hailed as the \u2018King of bullfighters\u2019, was dramatically carried from the ring at\u00a0the packed Maestranza arena in Seville, after being caught out in a split-second misjudgment during his bout.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The seasoned torero had stepped forward to face a bull which had positioned itself in\u00a0a notoriously treacherous spot in the arena.<\/p>\n

Morante attempted a daring manoeuvre but failed to raise his arms in time, leaving him exposed to the wild animal.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The bull, ignoring the sweep of the cape, charged towards him, catching him behind at\u00a0hip level before driving its horn into his body and perforating his rectum.<\/p>\n

At first, the full extent of the 10cm injury was unclear. The matador was seen in images reaching back, searching for the wound in agony.<\/p>\n

He was carried from the arena, his body motionless, as blood was seen on the bull\u2019s horn in a chilling sign of the damage inflicted.<\/p>\n

Morante was rushed to the hospital, where he was placed under general anaesthesia for emergency surgery. Doctors confirmed he had suffered a devastating internal injury, with the bull\u2019s horn tearing into the highly sensitive area.<\/p>\n

He was swiftly carried from the arena, his body described as slack and motionless, as blood was seen on the bull\u2019s horn<\/p>\n

The official medical report detailed a deep wound near the anus, with damage to the sphincter muscles and a perforation to the rectal wall.<\/p>\n

Surgeons carried out an extensive procedure to repair the internal damage, including cleansing the wound, reconstructing affected tissue, and inserting drainage to prevent infection.<\/p>\n

The operation, led by Dr Octavio Mulet, was described as lengthy and complex.<\/p>\n

His condition has been classified as \u2018very serious\u2019.<\/p>\n

The incident has sent waves of concern through the bullfighting community, where Morante\u2019s recent return to the ring had already been viewed with a mixture of excitement and apprehension.<\/p>\n

Now, fears are mounting not only over his recovery but over the future of the season itself, with the matador considered a central figure in the sport\u2019s current resurgence.<\/p>\n

Medical experts warn that while the muscular damage is severe, the greatest danger lies in the high risk of infection \u2013 a potentially life-threatening complication given the nature and location of the wound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
