Ryan Bertrand angry with Senegal's tough tactics

Ryan Bertrand had admitted that he was worried about sustaining a serious injury during Great Britain's Olympic opener against Senegal.

Bertrand was one of the lucky players to escape with just cuts and bruises from the physical 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Thursday.

Both Joe Allen and Craig Bellamy were forced off during the match with injuries.

Chelsea defender Bertrand told The Sun: "There were some horrific challenges. I was fearing for my safety.

"I have cuts on my shoulder and I am sure Bellamy is feeling down.

"It was lucky Neil Taylor jumped for one tackle, if he hadn't he could have been really hurt."

Bertrand may feature in Sunday's must-win match against the United Arab Emirates at Wembley Stadium.
