"Spanish matador admits he can't sleep or eat after bull spears him right up the bum in excruciating arena goring
Morante de la Puebla, 46, was knocked down and gored by a 512kg bull named Clandestino during a fight at Seville's Maestranza arena on April 20.
The horn caused a 10cm wound that perforated the back wall of his rectum and partially damaged his anal sphincter muscles.
He needed more than two hours of complex surgery to clean the wound, repair the rectal wall and reconstruct the sphincter before being put on IV nutrition in hospital.
In a video from his bed the matador said "The truth is, I'm in a lot of pain" and admitted he's had "a pretty normal night of little sleep" with zero appetite.
He described it as "without a doubt, the most painful goring ever" and is now just hoping to get through it with patience."


The soulless beast falls to karma. He got what he deserved. Thoughts and prayers to the bull.
