Ghanaian youngster Braydon Manu suffered a tibia injury and had to be stretchered off in Hallescher FC's 1-0 win at bottom club Aalen in the German third-tier.
The nasty incident occurred in the 38th minute after a tackle from Nicolas Sessa.
Manu went to the floor with a loud cry and squeezed his face writhing in pain which suggested that it was a serious injury.
The 21-year-old was treated for several minutes on the field and finally had to be transported away with a stretcher.
Manu has made 22 appearances this season for Hallescher FC, scoring two goals and five assists.
