The NFL saw the same fate for one of its players recently.

New York Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr was taken off the pitch by medical staff following the nasty injury suffered during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Beckham looked as though he was in so much pain he was crying at one point.

The team later revealed he suffered a fractured ankle.

It was a bad game for injuries. The Giants lost four wide receivers and gave away a fourth-quarter lead to lose 27-22.

Coach Ben McAdoo said at the time: ‘You learn a lot about yourself in times like these. So you’ve got to work for yourself, work for your teammates. We’re all pros – this is what we get paid to do. We get paid to win, not just compete. So we’ve got to find a way to win.’

‘Obviously, it’s tough to have close games, and have leads, and not be able to make completions, and make mistakes that hurt the team. It’s tough to swallow, but you keep fighting back.’
