Horrible football injuries cause life difficulties for players

Soccer is a sport that requires flexible activities of many body parts from legs to arms, knees or head. In particular, the quickness and agility of the feet will lead the way to the most accurate and beautiful shots. However, as a vigorous sport, many risks often occur. Collisions and friction on the field or between opponents lead to serious injuries.

4 types of injuries commonly encountered by players are as follows:

Sprain: A common injury when playing soccer. This condition can occur in the ankles, wrists, knees, and ankles. Locations with many ligaments are often easily injured when there is strong impact and stimulation. Sprain injuries usually do not cause serious consequences like many other cases. Just apply ice, roll a bandage, rest and perform physical therapy to recover.
Torn ankle: The soft part of the ankle turns over when the ligament system breaks and twists together. Feeling of swelling, pain, discomfort. You can apply cold compresses to the wound. Or to prevent it, you can wear a bandage to protect your ankle.
Torn anterior cruciate ligament. When the knee joint is seriously damaged, the cruciate ligament is torn. This injury can make it difficult for you to walk.
Torn inner knee ligament: When the ligament connecting the femur and tibia is torn, you will feel discomfort, sharp pain and swelling. Knee damage leads to inconvenience in activities.
Patellofemoral syndrome: Injuries in this position can cause damage to the lower cartilage area. Feeling of sharp pain 2 days after competition.
