Wilson: Football must act after horror tackle

FORMER Arsenal keeper Bob Wilson has called on football authorities to act in the wake of Aaron Ramsey’s horrific injury against Stoke on Saturday.

Ramsey suffered a double compound fracture at the Britannia Stadium after a challenge by defender Ryan Shawcross. And Wilson believes more should be done to prevent such injuries.

“The game has moved forward but the FA and the Premier League are content to have a brutal side to the game,” he told BBC Wales. Wilson also suggests British national sides will pay the price for such injuries, adding: “Ultimately [England, Scotland and Wales] will not win major competitions in that way.”
