Cardiff City are preparing for bad news after Ollie Tanner suffered what appears to be a serious ankle injury in Tuesday night’s 1-0 win at AFC Wimbledon. The winger, 23, who recently signed a new four-year contract, was forced off just before half-time when he collided with an advertising board while preventing the ball from going out of play.
00:00Calif City are preparing for bad news after Oli Tanner suffered what appears to be a serious ankle injury in Tuesday night's win over AFC Wimbledon.
00:11The 23-year-old, who recently signed for a new four-and-a-half-year contract, was forced off just before half-time when he collided with an advertising board while preventing the ball from going out of play.
00:23He had to be carried off and left Plough Lane on crutches.
00:26Manager Brian Barry Murphy admitted the incident looked worrying.
00:31It was an ankle injury. It didn't look good at all.
00:35It's not an insignificant injury. It looks pretty serious, he said.
00:39We'll scan it and reassess from there, but he's on crutches at the moment and will be going to hospital.
00:47Reflecting further, Brian Barry Murphy added in this moment he'll regret going for the ball,
00:51but that's the instinct of a player like him to give everything and never give up.
00:56There's no point looking back. From here, we'll do everything we can to support Oli and make sure he recovers as quickly as possible.
01:06Tanner's injury overshadowed a dramatic finish in South London, where Isaac Davis struck deep into stoppage time to seal Cardo's first away victory of the campaign.
01:17For much of the game, it seemed the Bluebirds would be frustrated once again on their travels, having drawn at Port Vale the previous weekend.
01:27Despite controlling long spells, clear-cut chances were limited and the match drifted towards final stalemate.
01:34But Davis, introduced from the bench in the second half, pounced in the 92nd minute to turn in David Turnbull's shot, which was heading wide, sparking wild celebrations among the away supporters.
01:47Barry Murphy hailed the fans afterwards.
01:49The energy from the supporters since the first day I came to the club has been amazing.
01:54You want to give them something to be ecstatic about.
01:57While Cardiff celebrate their late victory, attention now turns to Tanner's injury and the potential setback his absence could pose for the season ahead,
02:08despite the flying start to life in League One that the Bluebirds have made.
02:12What's the length of the people since the first day I came to the mind that he can have been AUD quería
