Confirmed: Alan Judge is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after horror injury

A double leg break

Robert Redmond

Terrible news.

Alan Judge’s season is over, and the midfielder won’t be going to the Euros.

The midfielder was stretchered off during Brentford’s game on Saturday afternoon, suffering what looked to be a nasty injury after a horror challenge from Ipswich Town midfielder Luke Hyam.

Judge has been Brentford’s best player this season, made his Republic of Ireland debut last month against Switzerland, and could be confident about his chances of making Martin O’Neill’s squad for Euro 2016.

However, the Dubliner’s season is over after it was confirmed on Saturday evening that he has broke his leg in two places.

Judge is set to undergo surgery tomorrow, and we wish him all the best on his recovery.
