LIVE - Nigeria 2, Argentina 3: Michael Babatunde leaves game with suspected broken wrist
Reuters
Nigerian midfielder Michael Babatunde, so impressive in the Super Eagles' victory over Bosnia last week, may have seen his World Cup come to an end.
Babatunde was on the receiving end of a powerful shot from teammate Ogenyi Onazi, and his wrist took the full force of the strike.
Video evidence seems to suggest that Babatunde suffered a broken wrist on the play.
Warning: The video is not for the faint of heart.

His arm was immediately wrapped by team trainers, and he was substituted after leaving the pitch on a stretcher.
