Liberia star burnt in explosion
Liberian international Ben Teekloh, who plays for Romanian club Farul Constanta, was hospitalised on Thursday after being seriously burnt in an explosion at his appartment.

The 23-year-old, who is reported to be in a stable condition, received burns to his legs and arms and will miss the first half of the season.

He is due to remain in hospital for the coming days for observation.

"Given the state the appartment is in you can say that he had a miraculous escape," team technical director Ion Marin said of the player who has 23 caps for Liberia.
