[Merging Cultures]

I'm really upset about this. This poor young man.

Lost for words.

our players should have kicked the **** out of their player for that challenge 

 

horrendous

Haven't felt so distraught in a long time. Could see Schmeicel consoling Amartey but I think that was because he himself was on the verge of tears after seeing the doctors crowd around Wes like they did around Eriksen during the Euros. Hell of a trigger. Wesley is only 20 so he'll recover fast. Hope he doesn't lose any of his adventurous spirit.

Completely normal challenge, very unfortunate.

 

Gonna be hard for all the lads, they'll all be keen to get off and find out what's gone on.

 

All the best to Wes of course, we're a family here and he'll have everything he needs, big up to the lads!

That was blatant retaliation. That’s never a normal challenge

That was in a friendly weren't it, he was out for 6 months and then came back and did really well for 3 games and then innocuously broke it again. 

[NaijaFox]

ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL! 

 

I saw that coming as the play developed. Nino had been hopping mad that Wes inadvertently stepped on his achilles and the ref did nothing. The Red Mist was unmistakable, and could cost a fellow professional a season. 

 

Speedy Recovery Wes!!

His face on his Instagram stories 😭 feel sick. Poor guy

[Bryn]

Looked unsettlingly close to his ankle. If it’s his ankle he’s in serious trouble.

Big Dan probably reminded of his broken ankle and that no doubt brings back many related awful memories of that evening ….

Their players had the nerve to complain there was no added time. They will be lucky to get on the team bus unscathed. 🤬

From the pictures and the way he fell, I think it’s more likely to be “just” bone fractures rather than ligament damage, very similar to Gomes’s injury. Praying that he has escaped ligament damage of his knee because the fracture appears to have not affected his ankle ligaments judging by the height of the fracture. If there’s no ligament damage it’s a lot more positive outlook recovery wise.

I think maybe more that Amartey had a horrific leg break of his own.

Looks high as a kite on his insta story

[TonyN11]

Wishing him well 

[Guest kristianity77]

The thing with injuries like this is that even if he recovers totally, he will always have the nagging doubt in his head that his leg will be a fraction weaker, meaning pulling out of challenges when he normally wouldn't etc.  That's human nature but if its a bad one that sees him out for 12 months, he can't come back the same player. It's so annoying as there was malice in the challenge, in a friendly.

yep,never really got over it.Could have been a great asset to us at the time and still was,but not at the level he was before the injury.

Honestly you usually seem pretty switched on but how the **** can you say that’s a completely normal challenge? It’s pre season he scissor kicked him from behind and followed through and at best only broke one bone! Ffs man it was a shocker even as a last ditch challenge to win the World Cup let alone a retaliation in a meaningless friendly at what I believe the score was 3-0.
