Horror pics show teen footballer’s battered face after thug from opposing team ‘punched him’ during row over bad tackle
Lewis was rushed to hospital where he underwent a CT scan and X-rays.
The young lad was forced to take several weeks off school and must wait to see if the nerve damage can be repaired.He explained: “It was very painful to eat and talk.“I have never seen anything like that happen on a football pitch. I think I’ll be scared to play again if the ball goes near my face. I think he should be banned.”Lewis’ alleged attacker has been banned from playing his team’s next three games and Lancashire FA have launched a probe into the incident.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson said: "We can confirm that officers are investigating following an assault at a youth football match in Southport. “At around 10.30am on Saturday 14 January, officers attended the report of an assault of a 15-year- old boy by another boy following an altercation between football teams at a match at Holy Trinity Sports Ground in Roe Lane.
