Axel Witsel of Standard Liege.

Can't see that lad playing again.

That was horrible. I wish i hadn't seen that.

"Get well soon" sounds a bit ridiculous after watching that.

I hope he recovers and manages to continue playing football again at some point in the future, however long it takes.

Just watched it.

It's given me really bad chills. That's awful.

I stopped watching after they showed the first replay that's absolutely shocking.

Oh my god  That was absolutely horrendous.

I hope he eventually makes a full recovery.

Not nice, not nice at all.

Oh my lord. That made me feel sick.

I really hope he plays again at some point.

Absolutely horrendous carry on he's a F***ing animal and wants F***ing off completely. He went into that with the sole intent of taking the man out there was no contact with the ball whatsoever, just hope the lads not too damaged.

Worse leg break i ever seen, Cant imagine the pain he felt.

I feel ill after watching that.  Horrific.  Hope he can recover.

Hope that it will not dampen his footballing career.

Thats the worst leg break i have ever seen and it has made me feel sick.

Hope he gets well soon but it's going to be a long road to recovery, if he can recover from something like that

watched the game live in a bar, no one knew how severe the injury was until the first replay... and what a shock that was.
Axel Witsel got a suspension of 11 games (10 league and 1 cupgame). He also got a fine of 2.500 euro.

He also got a fine of 2.500 euro.

Are you joking?

Two thousand five hundred?

Should have been 100 times that!

That is disgusting! I can only hope that it doesn't turn out to be the end of his career, but looking at that its 50:50.

I do not know what to say. I'm beyond words...oh my god.

I can't watch that after reading some of the comments on here Poor lad.

That was one of the worst tackles I've ever seen, Witsel knew exactly what he was doing he should have being banned for the season at least.

I havent watched it yet but it seems from all your comments that it's not something I want to see, kind of squeamish about things like that . . .what happens, does his bone pop out?

.... Wow

Repulsive tackle, and my lord what an absolutely shocking leg break. Put that in some action flick, and one would say it was far too unbelievable...
The punishment should have been a ban for the rest of the season for the offending player, not some extended holiday amounting to no more than eleven games!...that was horrible. I hope Wasilewski gets to play again.

Still cant believe it.

Brought chills down my spine when the camera showed his reaction after looking at the damage being done to his leg.

That Wintsel idiot should be banned for life no place for that in any F***ing sport.

Don't think I'll watch it.

I'm always scared incase this stuff happens to me. It's such an easy mistake to make, too.

That was horrible. I wish i hadn't seen that.

Me too. F***ing horrible.

Career ending.

That looks like a career ender.

2:43, The horror on Wasilewski's face says it all. Awful tackle. Seriously hope he plays again.

Just worked up the courage to watch that, made my sister and brother watch it first and their faces said it all. That was awful, worst I've ever seen. Feel so sorry for that player, must be terrible for him if thats his career over, which looking at that it probably is.

Still can't watch it.

Still can't watch it.

Go on ya big girl! But seriously, it's disgusting.

I can't. I can't bring myself to do it. I own about 10 dvd's regarding the events of 911 and I can watch them because I'm fascinated with history and the legacy left to future generations. But I can't watch that.

Fair enough.

If your abit curious though...(don't read on if your not!)

Just picture your big toe touching your knee on the same leg.

I feel like crying.

EDIT: Now I know I'll never watch it. And why anyone would want to is, quite frankly, beyond me.

That was horrible,good luck too Wasilewski on your recovery.

Terrible tackle.....good luck to the lad with his recovery.

Witsel issues an apology, he claimed to be a good guy.

Good guys dont do that, bud. Accident or not.

Couldn't watch past the first replay.

Absolutely horrific. I wish I didn't see even the little bit I watched.

Career ending challenge that.

Sometimes players break their legs after suffering heavy tackles, but this reminds of the Roy Keane incident.

You can excuse bad tackles, bad slide tackles.

But these kind of Roy Keane-esque stamps have no place in football. That's probably closer to assault. 

horrific stuff have watched it many times not because I am a sadist but because people on another forum were saying it looks worse for Witsel than what it actually is. I think he was over the ball and stamped down not in the same league as Keane on Haaland but still a stamp. Worst I have seen.

What is a mystery is the fact that he in some way disputed the decision??? Instead of using his foot if he had produced a lump hammer and whacked the lad on the leg it would have been the same because the intended movement of the foot could not have had any effect on the ball. Given the fact that a professional footballer can exert massive pressure P.S.I. with his foot the lad is well entitled to claim damages off the thug who assaulted him.

Dear me! It does hurt by watching.

Watched the Belgium v Spain game last night and the commentators reckon he could be back in training in 11 months. Good luck to him and I hope this doesn't permanently affect the rest of his career.

Witsel has been suspended for 8 games as a result.

Nowhere near enough IMO.

I think he should be suspended for at least the amount of time that Wasilewski is out 8 games is despicable.

Christ, that's a bad injury. I've seen many a leg break, especially one from WWF/E days with Sid Vicious (If your curious, youtube it, not going to post it on here) but that looks awful.

Hopefully, he can be like Eduardo and make a comeback from it, no-one deserves to have an career ended like that.

I won't do it.

I think he should be suspended for at least the amount of time that Wasilewski is out 8 games is despicable.

Cracking idea.  Someone who injures someone like that can't play football again until the lad he injures does.  I like that.

That's probably the worst I've seen since Cisse and Eduardo.

Hopes he recovers well, to actually walk again.

Ive just seen that on youtube as it had been removed from here and Jesus, i hope im wrong , but that looks like his career could be over. It seems to snap halfway down his shin, its going to take some serious operations to give him any chance. That thug should be banned for life, he did him ..simple as that , he saw him coming and put his full weight into jumping on his shin.

10 games ban! It should have been as long as it takes for Wasilewski to recover fully!

When I saw the incident for the first time it was shortly after the match which made me being sick of watching any football for three consecutive days and now, fortnight after, the horror scene of poor Wasyl's leg hanging around is still frozen in my memory. After that first gruesome impression I needed some time to prepare myself psychically to watch it again in order to try to estimate whether the Witsel's tackle was intentional or accidental. To be honest, the camerawork itself is not enough for bringing a final decision but Witsel's reaction immediately after he saw what he had done was incredibly shocking: he didn't show any regret and instead protested over red card at referee even with ironical smile on his face. IMO a normal person would not even think about the red card in such situation! A normal person would demand from his manager to allow him to leave the pitch and go to hospital to follow further course over the injured lad even if he was not shown the red card by referee.

And the attitude of other Standard players was also shameful, with exception of my compatriot Milan Jovanovic who I am proud with as he stated he would give up the title if it could help Wasyl in any way and also was the only Standard player that hit out Witsel in the dressing room at the half-time.
