Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira was stretchered off during their game against Manchester City on Sunday.

The Brazilian was taken off the field with the assistance of medical personnel due to a broken leg.

The 27-year-old, who was enjoying a successful first season after permanently leaving Manchester United, now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Tom Cairney came on for Pereira in the 58th minute of the game, which Fulham lost 2-1.

The Cottagers had briefly threatened to halt City's title run, equalizing after Erling Haaland gave City the lead.

However, a Julian Alvarez strike eventually won the game for City.
