VIDEO: USA's Packwood suffers leg fracture in England
It was one of the lowlights of the American soccer weekend: US youth international and Birmingham City defender Will Packwood suffered a leg fracture vs. Leeds United, which will rule him out for the foreseeable future. The video of the incident follows at the end of this post (warning: video is graphic).
The player himself gave an update on the surgery and his current condition via Twitter:
For those asking, it appears I have a double tib+fib fracture. Broken in as many as four places. Long road to recover...but not impossible!

Surgery went well this morning! Need to head back to Birmingham for another op tomorrow. My leg looks like bionic man!
