Video: The shocking challenge which shattered Alan Judge’s Euro 2016 dream

Gareth Makim

Horrible to see this happen to any footballer, and even worse when it’s one of our own.

The unlucky Alan Judge was the victim of of a terrible injury this weekend when he suffered a double leg fracture in Brentford’s Championship victory over Ipswich Town.

The Republic of Ireland midfielder was clattered into by Ipswich’s Luke Hyam, and as the video below shows, his reaction instantly demonstrated the severity of the injury.

Judge will, of course, now be sidelined for the remainder of Brentford’s promotion push and his hopes of playing a role in Ireland’s Euro 2016 campaign also lie in tatters, while the injury could also hamper the 27-year-old’s hopes of a summer move to the Premier League.
