Wilfred Bouma Suffers Horrific Ankle Injury

If you weren’t haunted by the scenes of Eduardo Castillo’s nasty ankle break in February, then be ready to see Dutch international and Aston Villa midfielder Wilfred Bouma’s horrific ankle dislocation from this weekend’s Intertoto Cup clash. The scene is quite graphic so finish off the last bites of your McGriddle and get ready to see a man writhing in agony because his ankle decided to play a sick trick on him. Video is after the jump.

First, there’s metatarsal injuries plaguing English players and now two English Premiership players have suffered gruesome ankle dislocations in five months. That probably doesn’t merit an epidemic, but we’d tape up extra tight if were playing on EPL pitches this season.
