The football world has been talking about Cristian Eriksen falling on the pitch during Denmark versus Finland EURO match as one of the most horrifying things they’ve ever witnessed in a football match.

There is no such thing as the worst football injury ever, but we’ll tell you about some of the worst that have ever happened.

In the realm of football, injury is something that cannot be managed or prevented. It occurs all the time, especially when the game is tense. However, some football injuries are so serious that they may be considered the worst football injuries of all time.

People may disagree with what we say here – everyone has an opinion – but the examples we deliver here are among the worst football hurts ever, if not the most flawed football injuries ever.

Let’s take a look at the worst football injuries ever.

1. Eduardo Da Silva.
Eduardo Da Silva sustained an atrocious tackle from Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor during a match for Arsenal in February 2008.

As a result, Da Silva’s left fibula was shattered and his left ankle was dislocated.

It took over a year for him to recuperate and return to the Arsenal first squad.

2. David Busst.
David Busst, a Coventry defender, clashed with Manchester United defender Denis Irwin so forcefully during a match at Old Trafford in April 1996 that the bone of his leg punctured the flesh and blood stained the ground around him.

His tibia and fibula had been fractured, and he would never be able to play professionally again.

3. Francesco Totti
Captain Francesco Totti suffered a major leg injury while playing against Empoli on February 19th, 2006. After a violent tackle by an opponent in the 12th minute, Totti twisted his left ankle and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.

According to initial indications from club officials, he would be absent for two months due to a broken fibula and sprained ankle ligaments. Totti was operated on by a well-known Italian orthopedic specialist the same night.

4. Jacob Olesen
Jacob Olesen of Viborg, a Danish striker, had a serious dislocation of his left ankle in an October 2006 encounter, which forced him to miss six months of action.

5. Alan Smith.
Alan Smith, a Manchester United player, was brutally hurt while attempting to block a John Arne Riise free-kick in a match against Liverpool in February 2006. Over the last 12 years, he has admitted that he has never fully healed from the injury and that it has utterly transformed him as a footballer.
