#6 David Beckham - 2002 (Recovery Time - 7 Weeks)
He was probably one of the first players to suffer from the metatarsal injury back in 2002. It happened during a Champions League match between Manchester United and Deportivo La Coruna in April 2002 - just before the World Cup.
It was a horror tackle from Pedro Duscher and many believed that Beckham would not recover in time for the World Cup that year.
However, he made an impressive recovery and played in all of the matches for England just 2 months later.
#5 Michael Owen - 2005 (Recovery Time - 17 Weeks)
Owen suffered a fifth metatarsal injury on the New Year's Eve in 2005 after the former Englishman collided with Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper, Paul Robinson, during his time at Newcastle.
In the beginning, it didn't seem that serious but with time, it became more complicated. He only played once before the end of the season and made it to the World Cup.
He had a metal pin inserted in his foot to allow him to play but he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury in the group stage while playing against Sweden.
