Manager Contacts Brentford Player After Serious Injury
Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie has admitted to contacting Brentford's Antoni Ilambo regarding his serious knee injury.
Ilambo suffered the injury while playing for the Dutch U21s during the international break, and was stretchered off after screaming in pain.
Early reports indicated a long-term absence, which was later confirmed by Brentford, stating that Ilambo suffered a cruciate ligament injury requiring months of recovery.
This is a significant blow to the young player, who joined Brentford from Feyenoord in the summer transfer window.
