Crystal Palace player Ledley hits out at Coleman smiling claims

Crystal Palace player Joe Ledley has rejected claims he took pleasure in Seamus Coleman's injury in the game between Republic of Ireland and Wales on Tuesday night.

Everton full-back Coleman suffered a horrific broken leg after a terrible challenge from Wales counterpart Neil Taylor.

Taylor was shown a straight red card for the tackle and in the aftermath of the incident, Eagles star Ledley was caught on camera smiling.

But Ledley tweeted: "I didn't want to acknowledge the nonsense on here but to those who have wrongly interpreted and commented on what my thoughts were at that moment in time need their heads testing.

"My thoughts are with Seamus Coleman and I wish him a speedy road to recovery."
