West Ham man breaks down in tears on pitch as Burnley's Ashley Westwood suffers horrific injury

Nikola Vlasic was left in tears after Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood suffered what looks to be a serious injury at the London Stadium. West Ham hosted Burnley on Sunday afternoon but Westwood was forced to leave the field on a stretcher after a collision with Vlasic.

The game was temporarily paused for more than five minutes as medics attended to Westwood. As per the Daily Star, the 32-year-old smiled as he was carried off the pitch to applause from both sets of fans.

The two came together in an unfortunate collision in the 22nd minute of the clash, with the score tied at 0-0. Westwood immediately signalled to the bench for treatment, as Vlasic turned around and saw the injury for himself. The West Ham man was brought to tears as he realised how serious the problem could be.
