You don’t play football with your fingers.
Lucky for Fulham’s Joachim Andersen.
The Dane’s finger pointed in the wrong direction but he was able to play on against Nottingham.
In Fulham’s 1-0 win at home against Nottingham, Andersen’s misfortune struck in the 24th minute.
He got into a typical height duel with Igor Jesus when he looked down at his hand and started gesturing for his teammates to play the ball out to stop the play.
He had a good reason for that.
Andersen’s left ring finger had become dislocated and pointed in the wrong direction. Andersen received medical attention on the field and Jesus – who did nothing unseemly – appeared to apologize to the Dane.
The doctors succeeded in the painful procedure to get the finger back in place and Andersen was able to continue playing.
Criminal case decided
Fulham won the match 1–0 after Raul Jimenez scored from a penalty late in the first half.
Swedish Jonah Kusi-Asare is replaced in the 85th minute.
