Concern for Robbie Brady after he was stretchered off in Burnley – Leicester clash

Niall McIntyre

This doesn’t look good.

Republic of Ireland international Robbie Brady had to leave the field on a stretcher in the first half of Burnley vs Leicester on Saturday.

The Dubliner was injured by a challenge from Leicester’s Harry Maguire in the 28th of the game, and looked in some pain leaving the King Power Stadium.

The injury comes at an unfortunate time for the Clarets player, who was rounding into some good form after scoring and assisting in their midweek victory over Bournemouth.

He was also showing well in this encounter, despite his side trailing by 1-0 after an early Demarai Gray strike for the home side.

Ireland won’t have another competitive international game until September 18, however the injury does come as huge a blow to Sean Dyche and Burnley.

Brady clashed legs with Maguire when he was on the attack for Burnley, and looked to pull the trigger for a shot on goal.

The 25-year-old’s leg was reportedly in a brace in the aftermath of the incident.

That pair’s legs tangled as Maguire met Brady with a challenge.
