West Brom striker Rondon 'absolutely devastated' for McCarthy

West Brom striker Salomon Rondon was upset for James McCarthy after his double leg fracture suffered in their challenge.

McCarthy was stretchered off after being involved in a 61st-minute tackle with Rondón at Goodison Park.

After the 1-1 draw, Rondon stated: "I am absolutely devastated after such an unfortunate incident.

"I feel really sorry for James.

"Rivalries are forgotten about when a colleague suffers such an unlucky injury.

"Even if the move had resulted in a goal, I would have preferred not to score if it meant an opponent avoided suffering such a terrible injury.

"I wish James a speedy recovery and hope to see him back playing again soon."
