Ghana defender John Pantsil has been slammed by West Brom defender Gianni Zuiverloon for the tackle that forced Marek Cech out of Tuesday\u2019s 3-0 defeat at Fulham.
\nThe Baggies were firmly in the game when Cech was left writhing in agony after going in for a sliding challenge with Pantsil.
\nThe Slovakian left-back needed treatment but could not continue and had to be replaced by Nicky Shorey, adding to Albion\u2019s injury problems.
\nCech\u2019s injury will be assessed ahead of Saturday\u2019s FA Cup third-round game at Reading.
\nBut Zuiverloon, who was handed his first Premier League start of the season in a makeshift defence, was furious with the tackle, claiming it could easily have caused serious damage.
\n\u201cIt was a very nasty tackle right on his shin and it could have broken his leg,\u201d said the Dutch defender.
\n\u201cIt was something we were very mad about. It was right by the linesman and I think he should have seen it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
