After facing a horrific injury in the AFC Champions League matchup against Muangthong United, goalkeeper Jamie Young has made his message clear:\u00a0what happened to him in Thailand should not happen in professional football.<\/p>\n
The goalkeeper’s right forearm collided with a metal ring on the goalpost when he attempted to save Xisco\u2019s header.<\/p>\n
It opened up a nasty wound which required immediate medical attention and Young was subbed off as Brisbane suffered a\u00a03-0 defeat.<\/p>\n
It was revealed later that his\u00a0cut subsequently required 26 stitches.<\/p>\n
Asked whether he would take legal action, he replied with “I have no idea” but was bemused this incident actually happened.<\/p>\n
“I can only think that shouldn\u2019t happen in professional football, because people\u2019s lives are at stake,” Young said post-match to FourFourTwo Australia<\/em>.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ll reassess, talk to a few people and see what I decide from there.”<\/p>\n It was a tough week for Young and in last night’s semi-final against Melbourne Victory, he copped a knock to the head after denying Leigh Broxham one-on-one in the 26th minute.<\/p>\n “The concussion was good then I didn\u2019t have to think about my arm,” Young joked.<\/p>\n “I feel OK, it wasn\u2019t nice to get a knee to the face so just one of those things that happen, you can\u2019t prevent it sometimes and it happens so hopefully, I\u2019ll be fine from it.”<\/p>\n Despite having Young between the sticks, Brisbane Roar could not avoid a 2-0 defeat and bow out from the A-League semi-final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After facing a horrific injury in the AFC Champions League matchup against Muangthong United, goalkeeper Jamie Young has made his message clear:\u00a0what happened to him in Thailand should not happen in professional football.
