Goal-hero Vaughan severed an artery
Everton striker James Vaughan, seen here in 2006, severed an artery in his left leg during his side´s 1-1 draw at Bolton on Monday.
BOLTON, England (AFP) - Everton striker James Vaughan severed an artery in his left leg during his side's 1-1 draw at Bolton on Monday.
Vaughan, 18, was rushed to hospital after suffering the injury in a challenge with Abdoulaye Meite midway through the second half at the Reebok Stadium.
The teenager had scored Everton's equaliser in the 33rd minute after Kevin Davies put Bolton in front.
Everton boss David Moyes said: "When I saw Andy Johnson shout over I thought it was really bad and it is bad. The blood was really severe and was spurting out.
"The doctors have sewn him up and he's gone off to hospital, but he is a tough boy so he will probably want to play next week."
