Ivan Toney stretchered off with nasty knee injury during Brentford’s win over West Ham – but Thomas Frank hopeful knock is ‘nothing serious’

https://ift.tt/q1ukWvK

Ivan Toney could be facing the prospect of a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being stretchered off during Brentford’s win at West Ham.

The striker played a key role with a goal and an assist in the Bees’ 2-0 victory at the London Stadium, a result that has heaped pressure on Hammers’ boss David Moyes.

But for Toney, things didn’t look too promising as he looked in considerable discomfort on the turf.

Rising for an aerial duel, the striker appeared to fall awkwardly on his right knee before lying on the pitch for several minutes.

After receiving treatment, Toney was then stretchered off the pitch, and was replaced by defender Pontus Jansson for the final moments of the match.

It remains to be seen how severe the injury will prove to be, but Brentford boss Thomas Frank is hopeful that it’s nothing serious.

Frank told talkSPORT: “I don’t know too much about it. It’s unusual Ivan wanted to be subbed off, he’s very resilient and can take a lot of pain.

“Of course I worry a bit but also you know with these things we need to assess it for the next couple of days and see how it goes.

"I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
