Demba Ba suffered a horrific leg break during Shanghai Shenhua's 2-1 win over rival Shanghai SPIG in the Chinese Super League on Sunday.
The former West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea striker collapsed to the ground in agony after slipping over in a challenge with Shanghai SIPG's Sun Xiang in the second half.
Xiang was trying to recover the ball and accidently caught the left leg of Ba, 31, who suffered the ugly injury while his foot was planted on the turf.
