TOR BLIMEY ... Everton's Victor Anichebe suffers
force of Kevin Nolan's challenge
The Everton striker limped out of Sunday’s goalless
draw at Newcastle after Nolan’s tackle earned the Toon midfielder a
straight red card.
Anichebe, 20, said: “I’ve never felt as much pain in my
life — I thought I’d broken my leg. I couldn’t even look down.
“Luckily, I’ve got strong legs but if that was anyone
else their leg would have snapped in two.
“I’ve always thought I’d never get injured for a long
period and when it happened I thought ‘That’s me, that’s my
time’.
“Now it’s not as bad as it was. I’ve pain in my knee
and the back of my calf and down my shin, so we’ll see how it
is.”
Despite his X-rated challenge, Newcastle will
NOT be punishing former Bolton man Nolan.
The Scouser is now banned for three games after his
sending off.
And a close pal of Nolan’s said: “Kevin said sorry to
all his team-mates as well as apologising to Victor.
“He knows it looks bad but wants to put it behind him
and move on.”
