Horrific looking injuries are a curious phenomena in that, despite the gruesome nature of the videos and photos that perform the rounds on social media in the immediate aftermath, we can't help but cast a glance at them, despite the fact we know we'll be repulsed by what we see.

So when we discovered that Newcastle United striker Aleksander Mitrovic had shared a snap of his latest leg injury, we were morbidly curious.

The Serbian striker was stretchered off during the Magpies' 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in the FA Cup third round, yesterday and was later pictured on crutches after his visit to the hospital.


And, judging by the below picture, it's no wonder the former Anderlecht man needed assisted walking:


There is as of yet no word on the extent of the injury or how long Mitrovic will be out for.

Mitrovic has struggled for form since arriving at St. James' Park, last season, finding the net just 14 times in 52 appearances.

Having lost his first team place to Summer arrival Dwight Gayle, there have been rumours surrounding Mitrovic's future on Tyneside, yet the Serb maintains he is willing to fight for his place in Rafa Benitez's team.
