INJURED TS Galaxy player Bernard Parker has finally broken his silence since his horrid leg injury on Wednesday, 18 October.
Parker has been at the centre of discussions among soccer fans after he suffered broken bones following a nasty tackle from Bongani Zungu of Mamelodi Sundown during the Carling Knock-Out Cup at Mbombela Stadium, Mpumalanga on Wednesday.
The video of the incident has since been trending on social media and generated a lot of discussion and division among soccer fans in Mzansi.
Although Parker is going through a tough period, his family, club and management have been by his side throughout.
Wendy, his wife of more than 10 years, recently shared a picture of her carrying Parker on her back. But it's not clear if the picture is recent or not.
