After recovering from an ankle injury in their 1-0 win at AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night, Cardiff City fear that winger Ollie Tanner could spend a long time on the sidelines.
Just before half-time, the 23-year-old collided with an advertising board and was forced to be carried off. He has just recently signed a new four-year contract.
According to Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy, “It was an ankle injury, it didn’t look like a good incident, and it looks pretty serious.”
He’s currently on crutches and will be going to the hospital, but we’ll scan it tomorrow [Wednesday] and reevaluate it.
Tanner suffered injuries in a goal kick exit attempt.
He may regret going for the ball at this point, according to Barry-Murphy, but that’s because a player of his qualities has the natural instinct to go for the ball and never give up, he said.
“From this moment onwards, we’ll look forward to helping Ollie in every way we can and ensuring he has a quick recovery to get back as soon as possible,” said the statement. “There’s no point looking back.
