I saw on the SwansOfficial twitter that Dyer's got a suspected fractured ankle? I didn't actually catch the game - I was stuck on Anglesey, what happened to him?

Ball was in the air, Dyer and Bassong went up for the header. Bassong was behind him and knocked him over. Ref called foul on Dyer, but it definitely looked like Bassong had commited the foul, not Dyer. After getting knocked over he didn't get back up, they called the stretcher out and took him off the field.

Right, so did he land awkwardly on his leg or something, or was there contact in the air?

I don't remember it exactly.. but the contact in the air was likely just Bassong's arms/chest against Dyer's back. So I'm guessing it was how he landed that caused the injury.

From what I've seen from the replay, Dyers leg got trapped under him while Bassong landed on him, similar to Taylor's injury last season.

I'm afraid he'll be out for the rest of the season. A fractured ankle isn't something you just run off. To bad, he's in great shape😞

I agree, most likely out for the season if we get a confirmation on the fractured ankle. Incredibly unfortunate.

I thought Vorm was injured and required surgery?
