'Appalling' TikTok video mocking incident which left Welsh football player in hospital slammed

The English Football Association has been criticised after a video posted on one of its TikTok accounts appeared to poke fun at an incident which saw a Welsh player taken to hospital with a head injury.

Stockport County star Macauley Southam-Hales was told he was "very lucky" to avoid serious injury after colliding with advertising hoardings during his side's FA Cup replay win over Charlton Athletic on Wednesday night.

The 26-year-old right-back and former Cardiff City youth star was taken to hospital following the incident, which came a month after Bath City striker Alex Fletcher underwent emergency brain surgery after being injured in similar circumstances. The National League side's game against Dulwich Hamlet was abandoned following Fletcher's injury which saw him spend a month in intensive care before being discharged.
