Tom Bender

he collided with Accrington goalkeeper

Just seen this on another forum

"Not confirmed but a Leeds fan at the game who lives locally has just said an 18 year old has broken his Neck"

Leeds fans really do get everywhere. Yeah hope he's alright if it's true.

Not saying I was there because I wasn't. I said he has a suspected broken neck, not that he actually has, and it was on ssn that he was very still when receiving treatment.

E-mail this to a friend Printable version A serious injury to Tom Bender forced the abandonment of the Accrington Stanley and Tranmere Rovers cup tie in the Johnstone Paints Trophy.

The Accrington defender was treated on the pitch for 25 minutes before being taking from the ground in an ambulance.

He went down in the 38th minute after colliding with Accrington goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin and Tranmere's Lucas Akin.

The Welsh youth international is on a season-long loan deal from Colchester.

Accrington chief executive Rob Heys told BBC Sport: "It was a three-way collision between Tom, Ian Dunbavin and the Tranmere player.

"It's difficult at this time to say what the injury is but our club doctor and physio ran immediatly to his assistance.

"Both sets of players were shaken up by the incident hence why we took the decision to call the game off - it's only natural reaction when you see a player stay down for so long.

"He was starting to show signs of coming around as he left the ground."

Here's hoping they got to him intime and set the wheels rolling for a full recovery!..

A long time on the pitch doesn't sound good, so hope all ends well!..

Sky news says in stable condition after head injury.

That bit I was quoting was what someone had posted on a different forum, I wasn't disputing anything you said

Just realised, I misread the comment. I apologise

s'alright no harm done

concussion, now awake, thank god
