McCarthy denies claims he broke Colin Healy’s leg
Sunderland manager Mick McCarthy has denied that he was responsible for
breaking Colin Healy's leg during a training session last week.
Reports in the British media had claimed that Healy broke his leg after
being tackled by McCarthy during the session.
However, the former Ireland manager said there was no truth in the claims.
"He just planted his foot down and his leg broke again," McCarthy said.
"Yes, I was on the pitch when it happened and yes, I was involved in the
game, but there was absolutely no contact with me."
Healy picked up the break last week while recovering from an identical
injury that has kept him out of action for the past nine months.
Oh aye.
What would Roy say...
