Ashley Westwood suffers horrific injury vs West Ham as Nikola Vlasic left in tears

Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood suffered a horror injury against West Ham which left opponent Nikola Vlasic overcome by emotion.

The injury was sustained midway through the first half at the London Stadium, after Westwood and Vlasic vied for a loose ball in the middle of the park. The former Aston Villa man stayed down and gestured towards the bench after suffering what looked like a serious ankle injury, and Vlasic needed to be consoled by teammates as he walked away from the incident.

Westwood was stretchered off the pitch after receiving lengthy treatment, with Josh Brownhill taking his place. Burnley will wait on the prognosis, and fans have wished him a speedy recovery.
