- Fans could be heard calling for medical treatment after Fisher went down.
- The stewards entered the field of play so that the fans could not see the injury.
Yeovil striker Alex Fisher had to be stretchered off with a terrible injury against Southend on Saturday night.
The National League match was long delayed after Fisher collided with goalkeeper Andeng Ndi, who was visibly shaken by the events.
Stewards formed a guard around the 32-year-old to block fans’ view of what appeared to be a serious ankle injury.
The incident occurred in the 52nd minute of the game, when fans were heard calling medical staff onto the pitch to try to get the striker treated as soon as possible.
He was treated for around five minutes on the field before being stretchered off.
Yeovil striker Alex Fisher suffered a terrible ankle injury against Southend United on Saturday
The striker (pictured) collided with Southend goalkeeper Andeng Ndi in the game.
The injury occurred when Ndi slid for the ball and collided with Fisher.
Fisher fell instantly and fan calls could be difficult for BT Sport’s live coverage of the game.
Following the injury, Ndi could be seen visibly shaken and consoled by his teammates.
The stewards had formed a wall to block the view of the player being treated by the fans.
The game was 1-0 to Southend at the time of the incident through Jake Hyde’s opening goal, and ended 2-0 after Rhys Murphy scored a second.
The Essex-based side currently sit ninth in the National League table as they try to respond to relegation from the Football League two years ago.
Meanwhile, Yeovil sits 21st in the table and faces another potential relegation.
And their job became more difficult, with joint top scorer Fisher facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
