Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has given his thoughts on the John McGinn tackle that led to Leeds United youngster Archie Gray needing to be stretchered off. Gray was on the end of a stiff challenge from McGinn just a few minutes after stepping off the bench during the club’s 1-0 defeat to Villa at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
The Scotland international appeared to catch the 16-year-old on the ankle and the exciting young prospect could be seen leaving the pitch in a large amount of pain. Fortunately for Gray, the injury isn’t as it could have been, with Jesse Marsch confirming it the club were hopeful it was just a sprain.
Gerrard was asked about the challenge in his post-match press conference after the game.
