He said: ‘He’s broken his leg. He went for an X-ray this morning and has got three breaks.
‘He went home last night, then he was in that much pain they took him to hospital first thing this morning.
‘He’s having a full pot on his leg, so it will be a long job. He’ll be out for the rest of the season anyway.’
