Fulham are given a huge scare as Andreas Pereira is stretchered off with a suspected BROKEN LEG... after the midfielder went up for a challenge with Manuel Akanji in Fulham's narrow loss to Manchester City

  • Pereira landed awkwardly after challenging City's Manuel Akanji in the air
  • Medical staff tended to Pereira for several minutes before calling for a stretcher 
  • The Portuguese has registered 11 goal contributions since the start of the season

Fulham star Andreas Pereira was carried off on a stretcher after suffering a suspected broken leg during the Londoners' 2-1 loss to Premier League leaders Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. 

The 27-year-old landed awkwardly after challenging Manuel Akanji in the air for a high ball just minutes on from the restart of play after the interval. 

Pereira hit the deck in severe pain as play at Craven Cottage came to an immediate halt. 

Medical staff were quick to respond to the injured midfielder and spent several minutes assessing the severity of the injury on the pitch. 

The former Man United academy graduate had his leg placed in a brace before being lifted onto a stretcher and was applauded off by both sets of players and the vast majority of the spectators in the stands.

Club captain Tom Cairney came on to replace the injured Pereira with 58 minutes on the clock. 

Erling Haaland's 2nd minute penalty gave City an early advantage in West London, although Carlos Vinicius was on hand to draw the hosts level after 15 minutes of play. 

Julian Alvarez restored the advantage for Pep Guardiola's with a well-measured curling effort just over half an hour into proceedings. 

Fulham's afternoon went from bad to worse as Pereira's injury looks certain to rule him out for the remainder of the season. 

Only Aleksandar Mitrovic has more goal contributions than Pereira for Marco Silva's side over the course of this season. 

Hopes of qualifying for European football next season are slipping further away as Fulham dropped down to 10th place in the Premier League table, seven points off Brighton in eighth with five games to go. 

Fulham will travel to Merseyside to take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday night, before returning to action in the capital against relegation-threatened Leicester the following Monday.
