3) Ever Banega: Run over by his own car
Trending
When Ever Banega was a star at Valencia, he made news for the wrong reasons when he broke his ankle that ruled him out of action for six months. It wasn’t a rash tackle, it wasn’t an injury sustained after landing awkwardly – it was courtesy of his own car.
The Argentine playmaker had driven his car to a petrol station to refuel and had forgotten to set the handbrake when he got out of his car. The vehicle promptly rolled back and his foot was trapped under the car, leading to a broken leg.
“The player Ever Banega has suffered an accident with his own car after training on Sunday when he received a trauma to his left leg that caused a fracture to his tibia and the perone bones.” – Valencia’s official statement.
The club confirmed that it wasn’t a clean break but Banega required surgery and it effectively ended his season.
