West Ham send 16-word Ashley Westwood message after Burnley star suffers gruesome injury

West Ham United have sent their collective best wishes to Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood after he suffered a graphic injury in the weekend’s Premier League showdown. The Clarets' star was on the end of what was an unfortunate challenge from Hammers' attacker Nikola Vlasic.

The tackle - completely unintentional - appeared to deal some damage to Westwood with the game having been stopped for a considerable amount of time, whilst he was then withdrawn on a stretcher. The incident left Vlasic in tears whilst Westwood received treatment.

Whilst it remains to be seen how long Westwood will be out of action for, the Hammers have already sent their well wishes to the Burnley midfielder with a short message on Twitter.
