'I can't take this' - Birmingham fans react to Manchester United loanee Tahith Chong's injury

Birmingham City fans have expressed their frustration after Manchester United loanee Tahith Chong was forced off with an injury on Sunday.

With the scores tied between the Blues and West Bromwich Albion, Chong used his pace to get away from his man before switching the play to teammate Scott Hogan. However, immediately afterwards, the 22-year-old went to the ground clutching his hamstring.

Chong was soon replaced with a spell on the sidelines looking likely. It is difficult news for the Dutch U21 international after what had been a great week for him.

United recently announced that Chong's contract at Old Trafford had been extended. The club's hierarchy decided to trigger his one-year extension option.

If Chong is forced to endure time on the sidelines, this won't be the first time he has suffered a spell out of the Birmingham team this season. From the end of October until the middle of February, the 22-year-old did not feature for the Blues due to a groin injury.

Birmingham fans have vented their frustration on Twitter. Take a look at their reaction below.
