“It does affect you. It’s not the first time it has happened to me in a game, it happened when Seamus Coleman suffered a bad injury for Ireland [against Wales] as well,” Davies said, according to The Guardian. “It shakes you up, it really does. It doesn’t matter if it’s your teammate or not. You can see the emotion across the pitch.”
He added: “Nobody goes on the pitch to hurt anyone, especially not somebody like Son who is a bit broken dealing with what has happened. The team just [has] to sometimes say these things happen in football and, as horrible as it is, they do. For us, it is just hoping Andre Gomes is OK now.”
Tosun also commented on the injury after the match, according to The Guardian.

“Everybody is sad inside,” he said. “Some players, they nearly cried. He was in shock, his eyes were open so big. He was like crying, shouting and screaming. I just went over to him and tried to hold him and speak to him; I tried to tell him to stay calm. We couldn’t understand it.”
