MEXICO CITY (AP) — Uzbekistan defender Abdukodir Khusanov collided with a camera operator during the first half of his team’s World Cup opener against Colombia on Wednesday night.

The Manchester City player challenged Colombia’s Luis Díaz for a loose ball on the touchline, and Khusanov’s momentum carried him into the camera operator.

A FIFA doctor attended to the injured camera operator.
