WARNING: Before you look at Gaston Ramirez’s horrific injury, don’t look

Conan Doherty

As injuries go, this is as disgusting and as vile as they come.

It was a good day for Middlesbrough. Their 1-1 draw with Brighton sees them promoted automatically to the Premier League along with champions Burnley.

Gaston Ramirez will be celebrating from the hospital though after suffering a revolting cut on his leg during the game.

The Uruguayan was subbed off after five minutes of on-field treatment during the do-or-die final-day clash at the Riverside and the challenge from Dale Stephens – which resulted in a straight red – could be Ramirez’s final involvement with Middlesbrough after joining the club on loan from Southampton in January.

He leaves with a mark though. A right dirty one.

If you’re squeamish, look away now.

Still, not a patch on Kevin Doyle.
