Martin Taylor’s as lucky as Eduardo is. It turns out that if the medical staff hadn’t gotten to Eduardo Da Silva’s broken leg in time, there was a real possibility that he could’ve lost his foot. Taylor probably thinks all the criticism is bad now, and he just gave the Gunner a Misery treatment. If Da Silva had lost the foot, he’d have a bunch of Brazilians and Croatians coming after him, and that’s not a sandwich you want to be the meat for.

Physiotherapist Tim Allardyce revealed that if the doctors were late, Martin Taylor`s dangerous tackle could have resulted in Eduardo`s foot being amputated.

You can lose the foot, simple as. Once the foot dislocates like that, it can badly damage the blood vessels and it’s very, very serious – [Allardyce] said on BBC Radio Five.

The foot needs to be relocated immediately or almost immediately to save it and emergency surgery is completely necessary. Imagine your worst ankle sprain and make it about 10 times worse and you’re getting close to where Eduardo is.

When we look at the picture above, we prefer leaving our imagination to thinking about Claudia Porras instead of searing, foot-amputating pain.
