Strasbourg striker Lebohang Mothiba has been riddled by injuries in the last two years with supporters seeing less and less of him. Here is a look at the special someone that has been keeping him in warm hands!
Injuries are arguably the most difficult part of any footballer's career, as such a setback could halt or even destroy the career of any star.
And with social media being another negative factor sometimes, depression could kick in due to the anxiety of the player regarding his immediate to long-term wellbeing.

The 'someone' who stood by Mothiba
Now with Mothiba having missed at least 39 games since August 2020, according to Transfermarkt, we sure do imagine that he needed an immense support system – who are not just physios, doctors and therapists.
However, while those people have a huge significance in the recovery of any athlete, they also require support from the people they hold very close to their hearts, like friends, family and in this case; a partner to Mothiba, like Laurie Mary.

According to her Instagram bio, Mary is a Infirmie`re diplo^me´e d'e´tat which translates to being a state registered nurse in English, this suggests that the South African goal-poacher is being taken good care of, to say the least.
Another interesting fact about the striker is that before he joined Strasbourg, he was in the books of LOSC Lille, who are the reigning Ligue 1 champions. They are also set to face Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League last 16.
