James McCarthy in horrific leg break accident that leaves culprit Rondon in tears

The Everton midfielder suffered a very serious injury after making an attempt to block a West Brom shot

Everton midfielder James McCarthy suffered a horrific leg break when Salomon Rondon accidentally kicked his leg when attempting to shoot at goal on Saturday.

The Baggies had been in a 1-0 lead since the opening 10 minutes when Jay Rodriguez's goal had silenced Goodison Park.

In the 58th minute, McCarthy's attempts to block a shot resulted in West Brom striker Rondon kicking his opponent's calf at full strength instead of the ball.

Potentially a double leg break for James McCarthy.
