Tonight, the young defender Tom Bender was seriously injured during a match between Accrington Stanley and Tranmere. It is believed that the 18 year old has broken his neck. The injury was so bad that the match was abandoned due to the players feeling too shocked to continue. He is a Colchester United player and currently on loan with Stanley. Best wishes to young Tom.
All the best, Tom. I can only find the 'broken neck' story on the mail online and they don't attribute a quote to anyone who has said this so hopefully this isn't the case. Fingers crossed for him.
Horrible to here of serious injuries in sport so i hope that young Tom Bender makes a full recovery and my thoughts are with him.
was treated on the pitch for 25 mins on the pitch while on unconscious! Sounds like a really bad one but skysportsnews are saying he's in a stable condition in hospital. Hope he's back and healthy asap
Gillingham fan in peace I hope he gets well soon and it is not as serious as it seems, so sad to see a player take such a horrific injury. My thoughts are with his family, & friends

Heard this morning that his scan was ok, suffered severe concussion and looks ok. From all at ColU thanks for the good wishes.
Bristol Rovers fan in peace. Great news about Tom not suffering anything too serious. I hope he has a speedy recovery and is back playing real soon.
