BARCELONA'S ALEIX VIDAL FACES TERRIBLE ANKLE INJURY IN WIN OVER ALAVES
Barcelona defender Aleix Vidal suffered a horrific ankle injury in the 87th minute of his team’s mauling of Deportivo Alaves.
Suarez & Messi destroy Alaves
Luis Enrique’s side were leading 6-0 in the dying stages of the game at Estadio de Mendizorroza when Alaves’s Theo Hernandez slid in on Vidal.
The right-back, who has been performing well of late and provided the assist for Luis Suarez to score the first goal of the match, went down and stayed down. He was clearly in a lot of pain and team-mate Andres Iniesta immediately signalled for a stretcher.
Pictures showed that Vidal’s ankle had twisted into a sickening position and he was stretchered off and rushed to hospital in Vitoria for treatment.
"We knew from the outset that he really hurt himself," coach Luis Enrique said after the game. "It's a shame for the player, the team and for Barca.
"Hopefully he will recover well, that I am sure he will. It is something serious but we have to wait for the analysis of the doctors.
