Meanings of gash knee in English

Mertesacker's header for Arsenal's third felt like another deception on a day when Arsenal also lost Laurent Koscielny to a gashed knee.

Rooney lasted only seven minutes longer, before a stray stud from the otherwise excellent Jamie Carragher left him with a gashed knee that required treatment.

If anything went wrong, anything as simple as a sprained ankle or gashed knee, there was no emergency service to call, no help within light-years.
