Yoane Wissa was about to realise a dream by moving to the Premier League. But in July 2021, a month before he joined Brentford from Lorient, it very nearly turned into a living nightmare. Wissa was attacked at his home, with acid thrown in his face. He could have lost his sight. It could have ended his career. A woman was later convicted of the attack, and of attempting to kidnap his daughter, and was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

"Every moment, I would get flashbacks. It was very difficult and I was mentally down, my morale was very low. Many things have changed."
