Footballers Who Played With Serious Medical Conditions

#5 Edgar Davids - Glaucoma

The former Juventus legend wore glasses almost all the time while playing due to Glaucoma, a medical condition with no cure, caused by optic nerve damage that limits vision.

#4 David de Gea - Myopia

De Gea, who has worn glasses most of his life due to myopia, in his initial days at Man United, performed quite a few errors until the club's optometrist discovered his vision issues through tests.

#3 Paul Scholes - Blocked  Vein In Right Eye

Scholes played with one bad eye due to a blocked vein that caused internal bleeding, and after consulting several doctors, he underwent surgery that required over 10 sessions due to nerve complexity.

#2 Petr Cech - Head Injury

Cech suffered a 3rd-degree skull fracture from a collision with Stephen Hunt, risking his life and potentially ending his career, as per doctors' diagnosis. But his surgery went successful with him wearing a rugby-style head guard on his return to action.

#1 David Beckham - Asthma

Beckham has had asthma since childhood, as confirmed by his spokesperson, and was seen using an inhaler during a match in the 2009 MLS Cup final.
