Darter Kim Huybrechts breaks collarbone in a brawl after the Antwerp-Union cup final

Darter Kim Huybrechts (38) was involved in a fight in Brussels on Thursday evening after the football match between Antwerp and Union. He suffered a double fracture of the collarbone on the side of his throwing arm.

Huybrechts had gone to watch the cup final at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, but was involved in a brawl afterwards.

Huybrechts will undergo surgery on Friday. It is unclear how long he will be out of action. “Thank you in advance to everyone for the sweet messages,” it said on Facebook.
