Steve Zakuani Suffers Severe Leg Injury

In the early stages of tonight’s MLS match between the Rapids and Sounders, young Seattle star Steve Zakuani suffered what appears likely to be a tibia fracture after an extremely clumsy challenge by Rapids midfielder Brian Mullan.

Here is a link to the video of the incident: WARNING – VIDEO IS GRAPHIC AND SHOWS SLO-MO OF INCIDENT.

Here’s to hoping that Zakuani heals quickly and gets back to full health in quick order.

Mullan of course received his ticket to the shower, and here’s hoping he gets a solid suspension to prevent similar risky challenges on the pitch.
