Was he Everton's reserve player of the year? There was a lot of talk of him getting into the Irish squad soon.

 

He's in it now, was playing in a training match against the u23 squad when he was injured. Just on SSN that doctors said it was a freak injury that they'd never see for another hundred years of medicine.

Irish defender Shane Duffy saved by emergency operation

 

 

Republic of Ireland defender Shane Duffy has had life-saving surgery after suffering a freak accident in a training match on Friday night.

The Everton teenager sustained a laceration to his liver after colliding with Irish amateur team goalkeeper Adrian Walsh at Malahide.

After being attended to on the pitch, he was rushed to nearby Mater Hospital for an emergency operation.

Duffy remained in the hospital's High Dependency ward on Saturday.

<!-- E SF -->Team surgeon Professor John O'Byrne said: "Shane collided with a player in a way that you would see thousands of times in football matches.

"It was a freak injury that in another 100 years of medicine, we may never see again.

"The intensive care staff in the Mater must be credited for their expertise and fast response which in no uncertain terms saved Shane's life.

"Shane was stabilised in intensive care after the surgery which stopped internal bleeding."

The 18-year-old, who switched to the Republic having played for Northern Ireland youth teams, had been scheduled to remain with Giovanni Trapattoni's senior squad, solely for training purposes, ahead of friendly clashes against Paraguay and Algeria.

I was there last night watching. I live next door to the training ground and am a member of the gym there so get to watch the games. I watched for a while and then left but I must have missed it my minutes. Taking to one of the lads who was there also and he was saying it was a nothing challenge to the extent when they hit the ground he was already looking up to the middle of the park and had stopped paying attention. He's in recovery now and out of the ICU.
