Well I'd guess it wasn't in the box - you might actually have got a free-kick but the game didn't tell you, it happens.

Plenty of players have had career ending injuries where the ref said no foul. Big fat wads of cash are good for turning some refs blind.

Tbh you have to heal him, rest him or sell him and move on - nothing else for it, except writing to FIFA/UEFA/NordFA/your MP/MEP....
