Former Chelsea star Demba Ba, playing for Shanghai Shenhua against Shanghai SPIG in the Chinese Super League suffered a horrific leg injury on Sunday.
The striker who moved to the Chinese club from Besiktas in 2015, collapsed to the ground in agony after slipping over in a challenge with Shanghai SIPG's Sun Xiang in the second half. Xiang accidently caught Ba's left leg and half of it was left dangling in the air.
.
Ba is at the top of the goal scoring charts of the league having netted 14 goals in 18 matches. Shanghai Shenhua won the match 2-1 after trailing by a goal, but their coach Gregorio Manzano was distraught as he felt that this injury can possibly end Ba's career.
