Fears for young Gunners' career after horrific tackle

There are fears that Arsenal youngster Aaron Ramsey may never play football again after he broke his leg against Stoke on Saturday. The 19-year-old’s right leg was shattered after an horrific tackle by Ryan Shawcross during the Gunners’ 3-1 win. The midfielder had to be given oxygen before being strapped to a stretcher and rushed to hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. Shawcross was red-carded. Manager Arsene Wenger was understandably furious after a third Arsenal player in three years had a leg broken by a tackle. "I am not very happy with the tackle. It is not acceptable," said Wenger. "I am very sad by what has happened to Aaron Ramsey. It is a bad injury and it is certainly long term.” Abou Diaby had his ankle broken at Sunderland in 2006, while Eduardo's ankle was shattered by Birmingham's Martin Taylor.
