The headline may seem utterly ridiculous, but Adil Rami was forced to miss a league game for Valencia after the unusual injury.
By Declan Whooley
We have seen a whole host of bizarre injuries to players down through the years, from Alessandro Nesta requiring surgery and missing a month of football after too much time on the PlayStation, to Darius Vassell ill-advisedly attempting to drain a blood blister on his big toe with a cordless power drill, and many more in between.
Adil Rami can add his name to the list after suffering blisters on his foot while attempting the Gangnam Style dance on stage for a charity event in France a few weeks back. He subsequently missed Valencia’s 3-3 draw away to Espanyol and while it may seem funny to us, Los Che supporters have not been so forgiving.
According to some reports, some supporters were so angry with the central defender’s negligence that they demanded a suspension of his salary until his return.
Thanks to 101greatgoals, we have the video of where the blisters occurred, and the kindest we can be is to say that he makes for a far better defender than dancer.
