During his overseas loan, a former Leeds United goalkeeper sustained a horrific injury. After Burnley was promoted to the Premier League, ex-White Bailey Peacock Farrell was declared surplus to requirements. He is currently on loan in Denmark.
Despite this, the goalkeeper has made just 12 league appearances for the Clarets since joining from Leeds United in 2019. He’s played on loan for Sheffield Wednesday after joining Burnley, and he’s currently with Danish team AGF.
He sustained a severe damage to both his head and nose during that loan period. Peacock-Farrell needed numerous stitches after suffering a severe gash to the back of his skull and breaking his nose. “Some stitches, broken nose and a little less hair on top,” was the message he wrote when he shared pictures of the injuries on Instagram. Benefits of working in GK. I appreciate all of your wonderful emails. Have fun with the swiping.
The 27-year-old was hurt during AGF’s 1-1 tie with AB, as his team equalized in the 95th minute. Peacock-Farrell had to be replaced, of course. The keeper played 40 league games for the first squad after graduating from Leeds’ academy. Peacock-Farrell, who has played in 41 league games thus far, is still a member of the Northern Ireland national team.
