Manchester United have revealed that Rodrigo Possebon has not broken his leg as was first feared. Possebon was carried off with a suspected broken leg following a horror tackle by Middlesbrough defender Emanuel Pogatetz during United's 3-1 win in the Carling Cup tie at Old Trafford. Pogatetz was shown a straight red card for the foul as he caught the youngster with the dangerous tackle. The young Brazilian required oxygen on the pitch as he received six minutes of treatment before being stretchered off. Pogatetz's tackle infuriated United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who feared the 19-year-old had suffered a suspected broken leg. However, after scans, the club have confirmed that Possebon has not sustained a broken leg and that he will undergo more scans to ascertain the full extent of the injury "We can confirm that Rodrigo did not suffer a break to his right leg," read a statement on the club's official website. "He was kept in hospital overnight for observation and to assess whether there was any ligament damage to his knee." At the moment, however, everyone at the club is just pleased to hear that Possebon has not broken his leg. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good to hear the injury wasn't as bad as they first thought

cant remember who on here said that,if a player does a tackle like that and gets red carded,they shouldnt play untill the player they injured gets back,and i think that would be a good idea. |

Now it's happened to a United player or did you think that before the incident last night? Good news about Possebon.

i dont think so, sometimes it can be a genuine accident... sometimes it is proffesional negligence... |

you can tell the difference between an accident and a reckless tackle,just watch the video evidence after the game and a panel can decide,like they did with terry :rolleyes:
no always thought it was a good idea. |

I tend to agree although not every case is clear cut so it'd be impossible to judge. I don't think Pogatetz was intent on hurting Possebon last night. |

perhaps not be his tackles often show willful neglect of fellow players safety |

agree,so i would class that as reckless,if someone sldes in and is a bit late but was going for the ball,or the ground was a bit wet and slid further or faster than expected,then i would class that as not intentional. |

i'm not sure VDS being all right is something to get excited about he is a liability so far this season. Great news about possebon though |

Yes, which would still be a lengthy lay-off. btw anyone seen this? I've heard some say he backed out of the challenge and because of this was hurt more than he would otherwise have been. But don't know how true that is. |
