Premier League and football league clubs have offered a free change to protect players from potentially dangerous posts after a horrible injury to the Grimsby goalkeeper

Clubs are offered special covers to protect players from potentially dangerous posts after a goalkeeper suffered a horrible injury that put it out of service for more than five months.

All the Premier League and EFL teams were offered a free solution by a manufacturer following a disgusting incident during a League Two match which sparked an alert on the competition scale.

The Grimsby goalkeeper Jake Eastwood was stretched after grabbing his leg on a triangle-shaped metal support was banal across the country and beyond.

The 27 -year -old man slipped into a post trying to keep a head and was left with a broken ball joint tendon. He has undergone surgery and has not started a match since the match, which took place on September 28, although he was on the seafood bench since March 1.

As Mail Sport revealed, a PFA concerned has taken over the case and reported serious concerns. Consequently, an investigation was sent to find out how many clubs used the objectives. The results were that the majority did.

While the positions in question have been manufactured by a company called Harrod Sport, which provides most clubs, a rival company, Net World Sports (Forza), undertaken to find a solution and now believes that it has found the answer in the form of a padded lid that adapts to the support, where the goal post responds to the frame that keeps the net on the ground and is described as “ Trianggle ”.

Each club through the English game has been offered four of the blankets for free. Net World Sports says they do not interfere with Var technology or the objective line.

Following the injury, the boss of Grimsby, David Artell – who was forced to remove a 17 -year -old goalkeeper from the bench – sentenced the equipment involved and suggested that a tragedy had been avoided.

“You cannot have such a clear piece of metal that comes out just behind the messages,” he told BBC Radio Humberside. “These objectives are widely used, but it is obviously a design defect because it cannot happen. We are now losing a goalkeeper for an extended period due to the design of a goal.

“If it is a consolation, it is his knee and not his head, because it could have been absolutely disastrous.”

A Harrod Sport spokesperson expressed his sympathy for Eastwood. He added this objective and the support met industry standards.

Robbie Hayter, from Net World Sports, said: “Once aware of the incident, we wanted to help. Although the objective in question was not ours, providing a solution was in the best interest of everyone. All the objectives we provide in stages are in accordance with safety standards. We are committed to innovation and continuous improvement in the security of goal points.
