Javier Martos Suffers Freak Injury to Behind, Receives Painful Freeze Treatment

R. Charleroi defender Javier Martos suffered an unusual injury, and an even more unusual treatment, during his side's 0-0 draw with Club Brugge on Sunday.

Martos suffered the injury when he fell awkwardly on his backside, with the physio rushing on to treat him. But rather than administering the magic sponge or a soothing massage, out came the deep freeze spray.

The defender then had to suffer the ignominy of having the spray administered directly to his behind in the middle of the pitch, with the treatment seemingly causing more pain than the injury itself.
