The triviality of football results became abundantly clear this week with a pair of horrible injuries to two of the sport’s most promising young talents.

Luke Shaw’s leg was broken in two places during Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to PSV on Tuesday night.

And just 24 hours later it looks like Barcelona’s Rafinha has suffered a similar fate after being injured seriously in a tackle from Radja Nainggolan.

Warning – graphic

Nainggolan was booked for the tackle but he was lucky not to have been given his marching orders for a challenge from behind with which the Belgian used a scissors motion to bring Rafinha down.
