It was during Leeds United's heated friendly clash with Aston Villa in Australia when John McGinn planted his studs into the right ankle of Archie Gray, leaving the 16-year-old in a heap on the floor. The young midfielder had only just entered the pitch but was stretchered off in tears moments later.
The youngster, who has generated so much excitement in his fleeting senior career, looked very distressed as his exited the field. It didn’t look good.
Fortunately, it proved only a minor injury, but his agent Hayden Evans was far from pleased with the challenge.
