Tony Mowbray fears Elliot Embleton has suffered a serious injury after the midfielder was taken to hospital by ambulance after being stretchered off in the second half of Sunderland's draw at Hull City. Embleton looked to injure his knee after falling awkwardly as he challenged Ryan Woods - with Embleton's woes compounded when referee Gavin Ward showed him a straight red card for a high boot as the 23-year-old departed the field on a stretcher.
Mowbray felt the referee's decision was 'a bit rash', but it was the injury to Embleton that was the greater concern for the head coach. "He's gone to hospital," said Mowbray of Embleton. "He's gone in an ambulance to hospital, he was in a lot of discomfort.
"I don't really want to comment on what we think it is. Our club doctor was here and he thought it was serious enough for him to go to hospital.
