Westmeath player suffers bizarre injury in warm-up before Wexford game

Very strange

Getting injured in a game is a pretty normal occurrence for anyone that plays sport at any level. But to get injured in the warm up must be frustrating, especially if it's the day of a championship game with a chance to play in a Leinster semi-final.

Corner back Shane Power suffered what sounds like a bizarre injury in the pre-match puck around. https://twitter.com/OfficialWexGAA/status/607552056870760448 https://twitter.com/MidlandsSport/status/607553140804734976 Obviously the situation was quite a worry for the player and his team-mates and he was not able to take part in the game. https://twitter.com/OfficialWexGAA/status/607552642911485953 https://twitter.com/OfficialWexGAA/status/607553439044923394 Hopefully Shane isn't too badly hurt and he'll be back playing hurling in no time. UPDATE: Westmeath were then rocked by another serious injury when Derek McNicholas, who shipped a heavy knock and was stretchered off. Both Power and McNicholas were taken to hospital for precautionary checks.
