Big defender taken to hospital after collision
Crewe Alexandra defender Ben Nugent suffered a fractured cheekbone in the Under 23's 4-3 victory over Barnsley on Wednesday.The 23-year-old was struck by a stray elbow in the early stages of the match & was taken to hospital & diagnosed with the injury.
It's currently unclear how long Nugent will be out of action for, but he's now a huge doubt for the Boxing Day & New Years Eve clashes.
Everton loan full-back James Yates came off the bench for Nugent & went on to score twice as Alex Morris' side thrice came from behind to win.
