Shocking stuff really. Could spell the end of the career of his opponent Wasilewski.

 

[Goat]

Oh sweet lord, thats nasty.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Jesus.

Not for the faint hearted that.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

He's going for the ball to be fair to him.

Not nice for the other bloke though, good luck to him with his recovery.

 

[Goat]

Yeah for me his eyes are on the ball, its studs up but no malice in it, maybe wrong like.

Hope the fella makes a full recovery.

 

[BlueTak]

Nasty stuff.

 

[bluebastardo]

Oh my.
Been there with the broken leg thing.
That looks bad with a capital B.

 

[Goat]

He was sent off for that as well. Hmmmmm.

I initially thought that, but am not so sure after noticing that Witsel looks at him at the very start of it.

Clearly aware he is there, s**thouses tackle, even if no malice intended.

Got a red.

Jesus Christ

I had to watch that a few times before I realised who was who and what happens

I wish the poor guy a speedy recovery, but to be honest, I dont think he's going to be playing for a while

Wasilewski sustained a open leg fracture by that tackle. Matches between Anderlecht and Liége have a history of getting out of hand. Last season during the championship deciders, it was an all out war on the pitch. Tempers are obviously still running high after a couple of months.

 

[Bluelass]

oh my lord, that is terrible.
really, really dreadful.

 

[Tommytoffee]

Still bloody horrific!

 

[bluebastardo]

I've watched that a few times now and that looks quite deliberate.
When you're blocking the ball, most of your weight remains on your trailing foot.
He should be banned for as long as the player takes to heal. It really turns my stomach thinking a player could do that to another.

Hate watching things like this - plays in my mind a little next time I have a match.

Much worse than Eduardo's this guy'll be lucky to keep his leg, never mind play football again.

Might've been about to join Hull as well - not any more obviously;

Wasilewski wanted by Hull City - Polish SOCA
