 Republic of Ireland's Rob Elliot is stretchered off after sustaining an injury before being substituted this summer's Euro 2016 finals through injury. The Newcastle goalkeeper suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury playing for Ireland against Slovakia on Tuesday. Elliot told the Newcastle website he had known the seriousness of the injury the moment it happened. "Sustaining the injury happened in a split second," he said. "The ball was played across the goal and I moved across to get in line. "I dived after the ball as I would do in any training session or any game, but I felt pain straight away. "Watching it back, I grabbed my knee before I'd even landed." Elliot said missing the Euro 2016 finals was a bitter pill to swallow. "When I found out it was my cruciate ligament, that's when the tears came," he said. "There was a wave of emotion knowing I'd miss the rest of the season with Newcastle and the Euros with Ireland. "But you have to let that come, get past it and then look to be positive." | |||||
