Top 10 weird football injuries - Fight in prison, bee sting and basketball game

Hazard, Bale & Dembele missed many games due to injury. But sometimes football players are ruled out of action in rather more unusual circumstances. Now we are going to check these players who suffered wired injuries.

Frenkie De Jong

Last year, Frenkie De Jong suffered a bizarre injury that looked painful and threatened to leave him sidelined.

The Barcelona midfielder showed off a swollen hand in his side's 3-1 win over Napoli in a Champions League tie.

According to reports, the ailment was the result of a nasty bee sting that caused the severe reaction.

That's prompted SunSport to look back at some of the weird and wacky injuries to befall other footballers over the years.

Kevin-Prince Boateng

It's not such an embarrassing injury when your drop dead gorgeous girlfriend reveals the reason you're injured so often is because you're having sex seven to ten times a week. But it still ranks as quite an unusual explanation for a thigh injury and earns the Former Barcelona & Milan midfielder a place on this list.

Jerome Boateng

Proving unusual injuries run in the family, Kevin-Prince's half-brother also wrote his name into folklore when he injured his knee meaning he had to wait to make his Manchester City debut. Nothing too odd there until it's revealed the defender hurt himself by bashing his leg on an airline drinks trolley.

The ex-Leeds United enforcer had been out injured with a knee problem.

Then, his two-year-old daughter ran over him while on her tricycle - causing a setback to his ankle.

Kevin Kyle

While at Sunderland, the former Scotland international was once seen 'walking a bit like John Wayne'.

It was all because his eight-month-old son knocked a bowl of boiling water onto his crotch.

Carlos Tevez

Tevez returned to Argentina for a third spell at boyhood club Boca Juniors in 2018 and impressed with three goals in five games following a disappointing spell in the Chinese Super League.

However, he soon angered bosses at the club when he returned from visiting his half-brother in prison with a tear in his soleus muscle after getting involved with a kickabout with inmates.

This was at a maximum security facility in Cordoba, incidentally, where his half-brother is serving 16 years for armed robbery.
