On-loan midfielder Lucas Piazon has suffered a broken leg during Tuesday’s 0-0 draw at Leeds.

The-23-year-old, was taken off in the 35th minute at Elland Road after a challenge by defender Conor Shaughnessy.

The Brazilian iscurrently on loan at Fulham from the Blues for his second season, having only played 33 times for the club last term.

“We have probably lost Lucas Piazon because we believe it is a bad injury,” Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic told BBC Radio London.

Speaking in a press conference after the match, Jokanovic continued: “It’s not a question about complaining – it can be bad luck or a tackle outside of the normal – but I’m really disappointed with what I heard from one of the referees who explained: ‘This is English football and this is completely legal’.

“I am a 48-year-old man and I’ve never heard an ugly answer like I heard in this stadium.”

When asked to clarify who he was referring to, Jokanovic said: “I don’t see so well. I’m a little bit disappointed that I hear around me something so ugly.”

It is the second time Piazon has suffered a serious injury this year, having broken his jaw while playing for Fulham against Cardiff in February.

He is now likely to return to Stamford Bridge for treatment after such a serious injury. Jokanovic told his post-match press conference:

We are so disappointed for this situation about Lucas Piazon. I believe he broke the fibula or broke the leg. It’s a very bad injury and we will lose him for a long time. It’s not a question about complaining – it can be bad luck or a tackle outside of the normal.

But I’m really disappointed with what I heard from one of the referees who explained ‘this is English football and this is completely legal’. I am a 48-year-old man and I’ve never heard an ugly answer like I heard today in this stadium.
