Callum O’Hare’s injury versus Sheffield United on Boxing Day has left Coventry City fans in shock.
In the first two minutes of the game, the 24-year-old fell down clutching his right knee. He collapsed to the ground while attempting to control a ball that was falling from a clearance.
O’Hare attempted to get up and continue, but nearly immediately collapsed on the pitch as the referee halted play to allow a physio to treat the player. The medics motioned for the stretcher after three or four minutes of assessing the attacking midfielder, and he was carried off, replaced by Kasey Palmer.
Sky Blues supporters are now praying the attacker has not sustained a serious injury. He has already missed a significant part of the season due to injury and another lengthy period on the sidelines would put a huge dent in the club’s prospects of making the top six and qualifying for the Championship play-offs.
On a bad afternoon for the Sky Blues, they also missed a penalty at Bramall Lane on the way to a 3-1 defeat.
Here is how City fans reacted to news of O’Hare’s injury on Twitter…
Losing Callum O’Hare after two minutes was a disaster, then the missed pen changed the game. We battled hard especially near the end but Sheffield United had more quality about them.
