4 – Nicolai Müller
He injured himself for a long period in a very stupid way. We are pretty sure the club got really mad at him…
When he was playing with Hamburg, he scored a goal and he went close to the corner flag to make a Somersault jump in celebration. However, the landing did not go as planned…
The result? Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury and 7 months out.
3 – Santiago Cañizares
In 2002, he was in prime position to be chosen as Spain’s goalkeeper at the World Cup. But, due to a very unpleasant injury, he wasn’t able to defend Spain’s goal during that tournament.
After shaving his beard, he dropped his shaving lotion which accidentally hit his leg.
This injury to the Ankle joint was the reason why at that time Iker Casillas was chosen as the main keeper of the Spanish national team.
