FC Utrecht defender Karim Touzani could be out for the rest of the season after breaking his leg.

FC Utrecht defender Karim Touzani could be out for the rest of the season after breaking his leg.

Horrific injury
The 22-year-old central defender was injured in a clash with team-mate Dirk Kuyt during training on Friday and has fractured both the shin and calf bones in his leg in a horrific injury.

Major blow
The injury will be a major blow to Utrecht as Touzani has played in 12 of the club's 13 Eredivisie matches this season, although he was absent for last week's game against NEC Nijmigen with an unrelated injury. Utrecht are in fifth place in the league, and are battling for a place in next season's UEFA Cup.
