Fulham star suffers GRUESOME injury so bad he can’t watch while medics pop bone back into place

Joachim Andersen was left with an injury so bad he refused to even look at it during Fulham‘s clash with Nottingham Forest.

The Danish defender, 29, appeared to dislocate his finger during a tussle with Forest striker Igor Jesus in the first-half of Monday evening’s Premier League tie at Craven Cottage.

He immediately looked to be in a world of pain and called for the play to be stopped so medics could rush onto the pitch.

It initially looked innocuous, but close-up images of his hand captured on Sky Sports cameras show the extent of the gruesome injury which left one of Andersen’s fingers pointing in a different direction to the rest.

Commentator Seb Hutchinson said the 6ft 3in centre-back couldn’t bare to watch while Fulham’s physios popped it back into place.

However, it appeared to work just the trick as he was able to return to the match with his finger taped up.

Brazilian striker Jesus stood over and watched while the medics worked their magic, and was seemingly apologetic about the ordeal.

Andersen was met by a large applause by the home crowd as he came back on the pitch in west London.

The Dane moved to Fulham on a permanent basis – after spending a season on loan previously – from Crystal Palace in 2024.

He has missed just six games through injury since making the £30million switch.
