Football Cardiff fear for 'pretty serious' Tanner injury

[kernel]

Cardiff City fear that winger Ollie Tanner could be facing a long spell on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury in their 1-0 win at Wimbledon on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old, who has only recently signed a new four-year contract, collided with an advertising board just before half-time and had to be carried off .

"It was an ankle injury, it didn't look a good incident and it's not an insignificant injury, it looks pretty serious," said Cardiff manager Brian Barry-Murphy.

"We'll scan it tomorrow [Wednesday] and reassess from there, but he's on crutches at the moment and will be going to hospital."

Tanner was hurt trying to prevent the ball going out for a goal kick.

"In this moment he'll regret going for the ball but that's the natural instincts of a player of his qualities to go for the ball and never give up on it," Barry-Murphy added.

"There's no point looking back, from this moment onwards we'll look forward to help Ollie in every way we can, and make sure he has a speedy recovery to get back as soon as possible."

Cardiff's win, which continued their unbeaten start under new boss Barry-Murphy, came late courtesy of Isaak Davies' 92nd-minute winner and kept Cardiff second in League One as they chase an immediate return to the Championship.

Looked nasty at the time, but not immediately obvious what the injury was. Worrying to see him wearing one of those boots and on crutches at the end

Can’t fault him for chasing the ball down but such a shame as it was the last minute of first half stoppage time.

Probably doesn't happen if there pitch wasn't so cramped. Literally only a few yards between goal line and hoardings

 

[Travis Bickle]

I‘m still waiting for the results of a CT scan that I had on July 5th that I had on my urinary tract bits and pieces

His last serious injury was also caused by an LED advertising hoarding IIRC.

That needs looking at. Must be measurers they can take to avoid this happening.

I assume it's within league requirements and there probably isn't the space to do anything about it. Just a peril of playing at a smalIer ground I guess

Maybe padded boatds

Don't think the injury was caused by contact more having to decelerate rapidly

Always go to hospital with a life jacket on and sandals.
Youll be seen within minutes.

No news is good news.
Your GP probably got them given them a ring.

Gutting for him, he seemed to be thriving under BBM and the way the injury came about tells you he’s been busting a gut for us.

Davies to step in now with Nyakuhwa called up to the bench for now you’d think.

 

[MaestegBlue]

Likes his advertising hoardings does Ollie.

Hopefully not out for too long.

Looks dangerous on that left hand side

Doubt we'll see him play again this year. Looked in a lot of pain and while the scans still need to be done BBM didn't sound optimistic

I thought it was his ankle under his body getting snagged on the change from turf to artificial….

I'd expect incoming cover, but Willock was effective last night. He's a really clever player and I feel underrated. He may not start many games, but he will be an important part of the bench.

Not sure mate but I don't think it would have been an issue if he'd had a few more yards to run into

My Urologist sent me for it, the waiting time is 9 weeks apparently
