The Scotland international broke both legs at Tannadice on Christmas Eve while playing for his team, who drew 2-2. With 15 minutes remaining, Gordon clashed with United’s Steven Fletcher and needed to be carried away.
The 39-year-old was concerned by a still photograph that surfaced following the event, and Robbie Neilson acknowledged that the early signs were “not good.” The Jambos’ worries have now come true.
Two days after the game, on Boxing Day at noon, the Tynecastle club announced the goalie had undergone surgery and sustained a double fracture in his right leg. Hearts can confirm that Craig Gordon has a double leg break and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, according to the Gorgie statement. “The captain had surgery and is shortly going to be released from the hospital.” “Craig, get well soon.”
- Injury: Leg break
- Type: Very Serious
- Return: 2023 August
Support pours in from all directions.
Following the incident, supporters, teammates, and opponents were quick to wish the former Celtic and Sunderland goalie well.
One of the heartfelt tributes was for Hibs goalkeeper David Marshall, who was scheduled to play against his former Scotland squad teammate and opponent in the Edinburgh derby the following week. “I merely offered Craig my best regards after the game,” he stated on Sky Sports.
Josh Windass, a former Rangers winger, tweeted: “Hope big Fletch is okay too. Horrible seeing the pics of big Craig Gordon. Heart goes out to him you never want to witness that.” However, other supporters made fun of the event, and Hibs fan Jane Park came under fire for remarks made on social media. Zander Clark, a Tynecastle deputy who took over for the injured captain, is anticipated to wear the gloves for the rest of the campaign.
