SHREWSBURY ace Aristote Toto Nsiala was stretchered off wearing a neck AND back brace following a horror clash of heads against Rochdale.
The former Everton defender was taken off after a sickening collision with Stephen Humphrys in the first-half of the League One game.
Prior to the injury, Nsiala – who turned 26 last Sunday – had played every minute in the league in 2017-18.
But on Good Friday, the one-cap DR Congo star saw that streak come to an horrific, unfortunate end, with a source claiming he’d fractured his cheekbone.
Bizarrely, that was Shrewsbury’s second fractured cheekbone in successive weeks, after Andy Cannon suffered the same fat against Fleetwood.
Shrewsbury had taken an early 1-0 lead away to Rochdale through Nathan Thomas, but were pegged back in the 12th-minute of added time, with Oliver Rathbone equalising.
Elsewhere in the Football League, Luton ace Luke Berry suffered a horror injury of his own.
In fact, Berry’s injury so serious it sparked a nine-minute delay, with both sets of players called back into dressing room

The midfielder’s leg was said by some fans to be “hanging the wrong way”, with supporters sending their best wishes.
The midfielder went up for a header before collapsing to the ground with players from both teams left shell-shocked at the scenes.
