An amateur footballer in Bristol is recovering at home after a horror injury in a game left him requiring 40 stitches around his eye.
Goalkeeper Carl Bush was taken to hospital after suffering extensive muscle damage to his face following an aerial challenge in his team’s match on Saturday.
Bush was playing for Hengrove Athletic in their home game against Oldland Abbotonians in the Toolstation Western League Division One, and had already saved a penalty before the clash after half an hour of the game.
