Title: James Jones
Post by: One Foot in the Grave on October 04, 2020, 02:34:36 PM

Stretchered off at Carlisle yesterday. His opponent was red carded, but the injury seemed to be caused by landing flat on his back in the aftermath rather than by the foul itself. Been on Barrow's forum this morning but nobody knows the extent of the problem. Here's hoping it isn't too serious.

Fast forward to circa 01:05 on this footage:

Can't tell what happened from the video but it apparently required 10 minutes of medical treatment which does not sound good at all.

Notwithstanding how he fell, the kick out by the attacker was a bit nasty.

I hope James is OK

Quick update on James, they feared it was a fracture or break at the time but fortunately it now appears to be a bad sprain to the ligaments which is better news.
