Shocking! The England National League forward collided with the goalkeeper and was cut by a shoe nail

Hupu August 11th, The Daily Mail reported that Carlisle United striker Luke Armstrong suffered a serious facial injury in the team's first game of the National League this season.

Carlisle United beat Woking 2-0 in the first game after being relegated to the second division of the league. But after 29-year-old forward Luke Armstrong scored the lead in the 57th minute, he had a head collision with Woking goalkeeper Craig Ross, who hit his face with a sting of a shoe stud.

Nevertheless, Rose was not awarded for touching the ball first. Armstrong was replaced and Joggy Kelly came on as a substitute. The club released Armstrong's injury on Instagram, and the photos showed a long cut on his right face. The club posted: "It's covered in scars, but he's the best player we've beaten Woking today. Good job, Luke!"

It's not clear whether Armstrong can catch up with Saturday's game against Borhamwood.

Luke Armstrong joined Carlisle from Harrogate Town in January 2024, and has made 46 appearances so far, scoring 7 goals and contributing 3 assists. In the second half of last season, Motherwell, who was loaned to the Scottish Premier League, returned to Carlisle this season, and the team is striving to return to the League Two for the first time.
