Ex-Red endures injury heartbreak with debut MOTM performance

Making his debut and receiving the man of the match award is the dream of most players, but one ex-Red managed to turn this moment into a nightmare when injury struck once again.

After 62 appearances in eight years with the senior team, Martin Kelly has always struggled with injury and that led to an interrupted spell with Crystal Palace before now moving to Wigan Athletic on loan from West Brom.

The defender signed with the club last month, but his first appearance ended in despair, with manager Shaun Maloney telling the club’s website: “Martin Kelly doesn’t look good. I’m broken for him.”

It was revealed to be another knee injury for the 32-year-old and let’s hope he doesn’t see him sidelined for long, though his post-game Twitter post also shows just how bad he’s feeling right now:
