Its very, very sad indeed. I think that such slide tackles should only be permitted from the side, not directly at the oncoming attacker as in this case. I'm quite hopeful though that he'll recover even though it looks like he broke his tibia, fibula and ligaments unlike Smith whose injury was limited to a horrific ankle injury.
This sport has become quite rash these days. Thats the reason when United draw or lose, although I'm disappointed, I don't really complain because they can always get a result the next game given that they are in one piece.
My best wishes go to Eduardo and I look forward to seeing him play.
