Spanish bullfighter Morante de la Puebla is in intensive care at Viamed hospital in Seville after being gored by a 512-kilogram bull named Clandestino at the Maestranza (Seville's historic bullfighting arena) during a fight on Wednesday. The bull's horn caused a rectal perforation and partial damage to the anal sphincter muscles, requiring complex reconstructive surgery; surgeons warn the risk of infection remains a serious concern over the coming ten days. The injury strikes at a particularly high point in Morante's career, coming just days after a triumphant return to the ring at the start of Seville's prestigious Feria de Abril festival, and leaves his professional future uncertain.
