One Direction fans send death threats to Gabriel Agbonlahor over Louis Tomlinson injury

Ouch!

One Directionheartthrob-turned-soccer star Louis Tomlinson is recovering following an injury during a charity soccer match Sunday in Glasgow, Scotland.

Tomlinson was injured by Aston Villa player Gabriel Agbonlahor, who is now on the receiving end of death threats from some very angry One Direction fans.

"This guy hurt Louis [sic] knee. I shall hurt your face," Twitter user @OMG_its_ella wrote in a post that's since been deleted. "I better hear that you apologized or I will find you, and I will kill you."

In August, Tomlinson, 21, signed on to English second division soccer club Doncast Rover on a non-contract basis after the team was impressed by his performance in a previous charity match.

Watch the video above to see Tomlinson get struck by Agbonlahor, who has since issued an apology to the One Direction star over the incident.
