Sable escapes serious injury

22 February 2012-PA Sport

Nice midfielder Julien Sable has suffered a frightening injury in training but appears to have escaped a broken bone.

Sable was taken straight to hospital after receiving a heavy blow with club doctors fearing a fracture of the tibia.

However, the club said the injury is not as serious as first thought and is just bruising.

"Although his team-mates feared a fracture, the first examinations have shown a large contusion to the tibia," a statement on the club's website read.
