The Wales international has reacted angrily to suggestions that he found a horrific injury suffered by the Republic of Ireland defender amusing

Joe Ledley says those suggesting that he laughed at Seamus Coleman after seeing the Republic of Ireland international suffer a broken leg “need their heads testing”.

The Wales international was on the field as Neil Taylor’s second-half challenge on Coleman left the Everton defender with a double fracture and the need for surgery during a 2018 World Cup qualifier.

He was shown a straight red card for the tackle, despite protests from the Wales side.
