Wednesday's UEFA Youth League match between Borussia Dortmund and Legia Warsaw came to a shuddering halt when Dortmund's Dario Scuderi suffered a devastating leg break.
While Dortmund ended up winning the game 2-0, the result was immediately rendered meaningless due to the sheer horror of the injury. Scuderi is an Italian youth player who plays at right-back, but right now, any notion of his potential has been swiftly put aside in favour of simply wishing him a speedy and healthy recovery.
What follows are a series of pics displaying the disturbing injury; please note that these images are not for the faint of heart and are potentially not suitable for the work place.
"?We've seen players come back from these kinds of injuries before (Luke Shaw anybody?), so hopefully it's not all over for the youngster!
Get better soon, mate.
