http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2010/0522/duffys.htmlRepublic of Ireland defender Shane Duffy has undergone emergency surgery after rupturing the blood supply to his liver in what medical staff describe as 'freak accident' while on international duty last night.
Duffy suffered the injury during a match between Giovanni Trapattoni's Republic of Ireland development squad and the Ireland Under-23s.
The Everton centre-back collided with Under-23 goalkeeper Adrian Walsh and had on-pitch medical attention before being brought to hospital.
FAI medical staff say the 18 year old's life was saved as a result of the operation carried out by Gerry McEntee at the Mater Hospital.
After a period in intensive care he has since been moved to recovery.
The FAI are hopeful that the Everton centre-back will make a full recovery.
Get well soon Shane. Freak injury.
