Valencia May Miss Season After Horror Injury
MANCHESTER United winger Antonio Valencia suffered a serious ankle injury in its Champions League match against Rangers on Tuesday and could miss the rest of the season.
The Ecuador international went down after an innocuous looking tackle by Kirk Broadfoot just past the hour and both sets of players immediately signalled for the stretcher. The Old Trafford crowd fell silent and Broadfoot looked visibly shaken as Valencia lay motionless on the pitch before being taken off with an oxygen mask covering his face.
United manager Alex Ferguson likened the injury to that of forward Alan Smith, who broke his leg and dislocated his ankle playing for United in 2006, an injury Ferguson described at the time as "one of the worst I've seen".
"It is a dislocation and a fracture, he'll be operated on tomorrow morning," Ferguson told a news conference after the 0-0 draw in the Group C opener at Old Trafford.
