Not for the faint-hearted

If you’re having your lunch, perhaps best to pop back to this article later on.

It’s difficult to watch the challenge that left former Cardiff striker Andreas Cornelius with a gruesome broken ankle.

Cornelius, who now plies his trade with Copenhagen, was on the receiving end of a poorly placed tackle from Silkeborg’s Dennis Flinta which left sent his ankle into a position that an ankle should never find itself.

“It was terrible to look at. It is a shame for FCK, but I am most sorry for Andreas, who has a long way to go now,” said Silkeborg manager Kim Poulsen.

Amazingly Flinta only received a booking for the challenge.
