Blackburn man avoids serious injury

By

Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer says Lee Williamson has avoided serious injury despite being stretchered off against Fulham.

The Rovers midfielder was taken straight to hospital after Shaun Hutchinson’s dangerous challenge just before half-time resulted in a straight red card for the Whites defender.

“Fortunately for us and for Lee, he has got lucky – there’s no break,” Bowyer said.

“He has a lovely pattern down his leg so he will be badly bruised, that’s for sure, but fortunately at this moment there’s no break in it. We’re delighted for him.

“Willo, I thought, was playing ever so well up until that point, but the main thing is that he has been able to limp out of here.

“It is one of them where the ball runs away from the lad, he has aplogised and that’s no problem.”
