Sam Vokes played on with his in 2014, Lukas Jutkiewicz with his in 2015 as did Dean Marney with his first one. Back in 1974, Frank Casper played in the FA Cup semi-final a week after sustaining his at Leeds. I think that answers you 'Why was he allowed to play on' question. It doesn't really, all i...

He's a young lad. If he's not had that kind of injury before he may well have not been able to recognise what was going on. If I was having a breakthrough season as a 19 year old in the Premier League I'd want to try and play on too. Just hoping he gets all the support and rehabilitation he needs, ...
