BLACKBURN star Bradley Dack was left screaming in agony on the pitch after suffering a horror knee injury last night.
And his manager Tony Mowbray admitted that his team-mates were “in tears” after the 0-0 draw against Wigan.

It moved the hosts to within two points of the top six at the halfway stage of the season.
But the injury to 10-goal Dack overshadowed any result.
He was taken off on a stretcher in severe discomfort after appearing to damage his knee when landing.
There were audible screams from the 25-year-old Londoner as he went down clutching his knee after an innocuous challenge.
Mowbray said there were tears and that the injury “doesn’t look good.”

He said: “The treatment room attached to the dressing room is quite an emotional place to be honest, there’s quite a few tears there.
“It looks like a bad injury. We need to get it scanned, which we will do as soon as we can.
“The players are all pretty emotional, as Bradley is emotional. He was in a lot of discomfort and a lot of pain.
“Let’s wait and see what a proper diagnosis from the scan shows, but at this moment in time, it doesn’t look good.
“Bradley Dack is the life and soul of our football club. On the training ground every day, he’s like a kid in the playground.
“He wants the ball, always laughing and smiling, having fun, and it’s not nice when you see the kid who brings the life to the training in tears.
“The players are also getting upset and shows the closeness of our group.”
Rovers went closest in a tight game, with Danny Graham heading against the woodwork, but both goalkeepers produced important saves and a point apiece was fair.
Wigan have now won just once on the road in 22 league games during 2019, and none this season.
