Needs a part 2 cause these are far from being the worst injuries. Broken legs, broken feet, concusions, broken heads. NEED MORE
Specially tgat muller kick against ajax bro that was a litteraly murder
Or the injury Marcelo accidentally caused recently playing in the copa libertadores
@@Dijinutyeah it was luisiano Sanchez
@@Dijinut man... that was horrifying one!! and marcelo was devasted (he even left the field crying) cause that was unintentional, but nonetheless... one of the worst injuries i ever saw in sports in general
Ewald Lienen got the worst injury i've ever seen.
The fact that Erikson is still playing at the highest level of football after what he went through is a testament to the doctors who saved him and his character and strength to fight on.

That Eriksen incident still makes me nervous until today. Watched it live and was just really in shock tbh, the reactions of the teammates standing around him really showed the heaviness of the situation
yeah, as an amateur football player, it is really menacing that this could be happen to someone on the pitch at any given time without warning Especially, because we dont have this kind of first aid team running around all the time
Last time he fall and was so scary
Blud hace you seen the NFL and NBA I still remember that time a player got a bone sticking out of his ankle
In my mind, I still sometimes see Poulsen holding back tears. Absolutely haunting.
I like the protection circle when player collapsed, it's really nice gesture and shows how serious it was too.
As a Celtic fan, Henrik Larsson's leg break in 1999 is the injury that's seared on my brain. Absolutely horrific. But the fact that he made a full recovery and came back even better than before only added to his legend.

Thank you for validating football injuries. So many times people in the US say "flopper" and think the player is exaggerating. They have no concept of how painful and dangerous these small collisions can be.
because Americans don’t exercise 😂😂

We NEED more of this whole series
4:27 We need a compilation of Mike saying "Chest compressions".
Agree(￣▽￣)
I'm a med student (almost doc in Germany) and I literally cover half my screen with my hand during videos like this, in fear that there will be a clean bone snap or something similar 😅
wow... those injuries give me the chills
Wow
these were actually soft he did not not react to the worst ones where the leg turns
@@louisvictor4715 I loved that he paused the neck injury right on the worst part though 💀😂

Sudden heart failure happens so much in soccer it’s terrifying. A german sports show did a documentary on and it was really insightful. They had a doctor on that was one of the people giving courses to the medics for the 2020 Euro and he said they did exactly what they were taught. They also showed how some clubs have started paying much more attention to players heart health in recent years which was really great to see
Sergio Agüero retired at only 30 or so after signing for Barcelona where they found a previously undiscovered heart defect that could have ended in cardiac arrest. It's truly scary that it keeps happening. Glad they found out about Agüero's issue before it became truly tragic, but man it really puts things into perspective. There's been more cases similar to his in later years which obviously is a testament to clubs really taking heart health more seriously and doing more cardiac testing.
@@lulaufeyyeah it’s sad because he was so good
Christen Erickson was from the Covid vaccine. Same with Damar Hamlin, Bronny Jr, Sergio Aguero, and countless other athletes in the last two years.
It's wild--I see people getting into conspiracy theory stuff about the COVID vaccine and bringing up soccer players having heart failure, when I remember stories talking about the growing awareness of the problem a decade ago.
@@Essex626 in the past several decades the average number of athletes having a heart attack during competition was around 20. In the year 2021 there were over 800.
I love mike because he knows a lot of soccer and medical issues and for me that’s the video I would watch. Keep it up
As someone who’s fractured the vertebrae and didn’t have it looked at for a year 1/2 I can confirm it’s very painful
Christian Eriksen is still a legend here at Man United for me. He's not used as often as Casemiro and other midfielders in the squad currently, but he is certainly there for the club in rough times last year and was a key player to Man United so they could be in the Champions League this year. Big up to him.
Neymar's was painful to watch and the 7-1 defeat against Germany in the next game was even more painful. Neymar was once considered to be someone who could be on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi but the defenders always want to injure him out of frustration instead of stealing the ball from him, the unfortunate circumstance of being one of the best dribblers in the history of the sport.
Erikson is a LEGEND. I agree
Never forget when ESPN filmed his wife crying as she watched him nearly die
Every time he goes into a pressing run in the second half, my anxiety level goes up.
I am still wondering how he got cardiac arrest
I'm not even a football fan, but I still clearly remember the incident with Eriksen. The entirety of Denmark were in shock. Like the whole country was holding its breath, to find out if he was gonna be ok. I am so relieved he was able to recover and play for Manchester!
Well, more like the whole football fanbase, i'm really happy he is still alive
Not the entire of Denmark
@@bazzakrakit's a metaphor
Ohh really @@intanrivolsa3569 ?? You don't say, wauv, ohh man, now I must change my decition.... NOT Just like with the World Trade Center, that was a great day, just sitting there cheering when those buildings collapsed, man that was great TV
Manchester united, not manchester
Loved this video! I’ve been a huge fan of soccer for a few years, but I’m also a medical coding major. Watching Mike’s videos has been a nice learning and reviewing tool for me while also bringing some entertainment! ❤️
While playing as a LB, I was running down the wing defending against the opposition player. I slid in and as soon as my left foot made contact with the ball, I felt a pain on the outside of my foot below the ankle bone. I stood up and immediately fell to my knees as I couldn't put weight on my left. It was an important game so I didn't tell anyone I was injured and was still able to perform at a decent enough standard for us to win the match. Went to the doctor after and they said I tore the ligaments in my ankle
Being French and a football fan and knowing Doctor Mike loves the French team and legends like Zidane and Thierry Henry is wonderful ❤
Right?! Before he started speaking and I saw the picture, my brain was like "wwaaaait a minute...". 1998 France team were legends!
i think everyone loves Henry and Zidane lol. Hard not to like class
Zidane is Algerian
mbappe ❤
@@stunna6389still a french footballer, Mbappé is not french either but he plays in that team
One of the rare moments caught on tape where Neymar had an actual injury. You can tell by him not rolling around like a tire after the hit.
He gets injured a lot though. Had a few ankle injuries as well
He has alot of actual injuries, mainly on his ankle. His style of play attracts rough tackles
Tell me you never watched Neymar play without telling me you never watched Neymar play:
This is the kind of comment that blatantly shows when someone has no idea what they're talking about and only knows Neymar through dead memes.
Bro you probably don’t even watch football and found some virgin posting this on reddit, that you sit and read every day
That last one hit close to home. I got hit in the eye playing basketball on a cruise ship and my eye got stratched open. It was incredibly painful to open my eye and any kind of light made it worse. The doctor gave me some kind of eye drops and I eventually recovered with 20/20 vision.
such an informative video. thank you doctor... currently have a gastrocnemius injury which resulted in a drop foot.👌
I had an L1 compression fracture as a teenager from a cheerleading accident. While it was probably the least painful out of all my injuries, it was definitely the nost scary. Upon hitting the ground, i could tell something was off. All i could do was lay on the ground while the coach asked if I could feel my legs. I could, so she called my mom and continued practice while I lay there. Then she got mad when I told her my legs started to go numb. I was extremely lucky though. I very narrowly avoided paralysis thanks to the disgusting old mats on the gym floor and the doctors taking a second look at my X-ray. They initially thought it was a tailbone injury since I fell on my butt, but the impact had shot up through my back to my L1. I too this day, about 10 years later, still have a weak back there and struggle with back pain, but I'll take having the back of a 90 year old over having no lower body function.
damn but it’s great you’re alr now🥳
Cheerleading?
@@David-qv7no yup! We were practicing a stunt called a shoulder sit (pretty self explanatory: I was supposed to sit on a girl's shoulders,) and I was supposed to be tossed over the girl's head, caught at the waist, and brought down safely. I was not caught. I landed straight on my butt, bounced, then crawled a few feet to lay on my side because I could tell something was wrong. We also had signed the waivers literally right before it happened
Damn i felt pain just by reading this it great that you ok
Cheer is SO dangerous!
I remember back in school, some kid broke his collar bone so all the teachers left us on the pitch while they sorted him out, we all took the opportunity to just mess around and instead of playing football, we just started tackling eachother. I tackled someone and it was all fun and games but as I was laid on the grass, I took a knee right in the centre of my back, never got it looked at but 10 years later, still got some back issues lmao
@@venomvicarioLegends Bro as I am I gave up soccer at 11years old as I saw the dangers of it 😅
Having had equinus in both feet I know very well on why the Achilles tendons are very important :) I tried to stand up the day i had my surgery (where they put three cuts in each tendon)
Bro the thumbnail 💀

As much as some of the "grass fairy" stereotype is true (the unnecessary diving, faking injuries, overreacting, etc.), soccer really is an incredibly physical contact sport that doesn't get enough respect in America. Thanks for showing some of the physicality of the sport.
Now that the king (Messi) is in that house, they will learn 😉
You gave almost every reason why it doesn't deserve as much respect as you say 😂
In my teens I tried out all kinds of sports, yet the only injuries I had (streched ligaments, capsule rupture, wrist sprain) all came from football.
@@wowdude4377 Deliberate ignorance. Shame.
*Football
I was watching the match when Christian Ericksen had his heart attack. As an RN I was relieved that they started CPR immediately. Very emotional and the match was delayed for about an hour due to the anguish of everyone.
.
😅
I had a friend and we played American football together. One day during practice all you hear is the sound of a two by four snapping in half. We look at the source of the sound, and there was my friend with his leg doing the hockey pockey and turning itself around. Turns out he broke his femur and the leg had twisted around some where on his way to the ground. He got a rod through his hip and along the femur and was running track again a little while later.
Dude the protective circle is so amazing they were very protective of their injured friend 😊
The story at 4:13 left me in tears... the Support and protection... great feeling
You are the doctor who gives me motivation to not give up being a doctor. You're my role model. I just want to be a doc like you and go to medical college. Thank you for your all inspirations.
Good luck!! I believe that you can do it!

Christian Eriksen is now playing for Manchester United and he is doing well both in the sport and also with his health. It is like a fairy story. I guess it shows that a quick response to a heart attack means everything
Italian Football has an insanely zealous standard for fitness evaluation. Especially for these types of heart conditions. I remember a couple of players that were stopped in the past for similar reasons, such as Kanu, who himself went to play in England as well.

Fabrice Muamba had a very similar (if not the same) situation as Erickson, in 2012. Bolton (my team) were playing Tottenham in London. He was legally dead for over an hour, a doctor in the stands ran on the pitch and saved his live by starting CPR. He was also nearby the best Heart Hospital in the country. If it had been at Bolton he would have most likely died. He did survive but unfortunately didn’t play again, but it was such a high profile case it caused Defibs to be at a lot more games
Well the physios had started cpr already but this fan was a cardiologist, and his intervention to take him to a further hospital with advanced cardiac treatment likely saved his life
I had a co worker once, they had a implanted defibrillator. I asked a couple basic questions about it, and they decided to pull their shirt taught over it and asked if I wanted to poke it. I was just a teen back then, but it gave me such willies because I was afraid of hurting them, or messing it up, but I did poke it, I remember thinking it felt weird compared to a normal human skin, muscle. It reminded me of very well cooked meat.
Was surprised not to see the Heung-Min Son and Andre Gomes incident. Worst injury I've witnessed on live television in my life, so much so that Son was crying after realizing what he had done.
So heartbreaking for Eriksen, to come back from a cardiac arrest and play soccer, is incredible to me. Oh and by the way, the a Achilles injury is similar to Aaron Rodgers of the Jets, and he’s out for the season.

I remember seeing Eriksen collapse whilst watching the game live. Was instantly thinking the worst and now he plays for my team. Incredible story
i’d love a video on figure skating injuries
in middle school while i was playing football as goalkeeper it was during recess so we had no guards or anything, and as i was diving to grab the ball my friend the defender (who mind you had one of the strongest kicks in school) kicked my smack in the face attempting to clear the ball, i was hospitalized and me and my friend still talk about it to this day.
Hope there's part 2 for this! There's so many injuries on football that happens.
Specially that marcelo did
That one was brutal. I almost couldn't watch. Almost
@@hussieniq8085 Harvey Elliott, Demba Ba, John Terry, Petr Cech... just to name a few of them
Another really scary injury was when Fernando Torres fell face first after a blow on his back and "swallowed his tongue" (don't know the actual medical term, but I believe it's a relatively common thing in soccer). He was down for several minutes on the field with no one knowing if he would survive
Dr Mike, please cover this! Theres a widespread myth among footballfans and even players that "swallowing your tongue" is so common that you see players try to "help" by putting their fingers into an unconscious players mouth, completely ignoring the fact that nobody ever in medical or martial arts (where knockouts are extremely common) ever handle these situations in that manor.
Stop spreading misinformation. There's no such thing as swallowing one's tongue, what can happen is that people who fainted and are laying on ground can have their muscles relaxed, that includes their tongue, which falls to the back of their mouth covering it, it's the same thing that causes snoring, it's only something dangerous when they cant breathe through their nose or are not breathing already and need CPR because unlike with apnea that you simply wake up to breathe, fainted people will not wake up, in that case, you reajust their heads and the tongue will fall back, it can also be prevented by placing people that fainted or are having convulsions on their left side.

As a football fan, I feel this barely scratches the surface of horrific injuries. You should check out Rivaldo at the 2002 World Cup after a ball hit him
That was one of the most terrifying injuries in the history of football. Didn't he almost die? I'm surprised dr mike didn't include that injury
He might not be able to show that one. It was pretty graphic and KZhead has these odd rules about showing anything with blood.
@@mcrchickenluvr yeah I’m pretty sure that’s why he didn’t talk about the injury of Ewald Lienen. Open flesh wound …
I think he tries his best not to make stuff to graphic… as he’s a family medicine doctors I’m sure he tries to keep stuff family friendly. And not get demonetized
He should check out that time when Ronaldo was bleeding on his head
Can you do one about the worst handball injuries?
Marcin Wasilewski's injury was one of the worst i have ever seen, even though he actually came back to playing just some time later. Marcin was sucha a BEAST!
As a former ice hockey goaltender, I' d like to see your reactions/analysis to hockey related injuries
I second this
As someone who shattered one of my vertebrae in a car accident when I was in 8th grade, I can vouch for how painful breaking your spine is. It still gives me problems to this day.
Remember watching Erikson live on telly, there was a 5 second shot straight on his face where you can clearly see he has died, was terrifying
Just how painful is an injured ACL/MCL/PCL? I only ask because I had an x-ray and an MRI on my left knee, because it felt like I had a bone spur (they're still not able to tell me what it is even though it causes me pain and I can physically feel it from the outside of my knee). When I went back to the orthopedic doctor, he asked me if I ever had pain or weakness in my right knee. I told him no and he told me that there was evidence of a prior injury in one of those ligaments. I can't find the images anymore (they were on a disk and I'm not sure where it went).
3:25 that's got to be the most egregious dangerous kick in recorded history
Neymar's was painful to watch and the 7-1 defeat against Germany in the next game was even more painful.

I'm brasilian and he deff had the opportunity to be one of the best but I think fame got to his head he wanted to be more of a superstar celebrity more than a superstar footballer.
0:50 he didn't even score 😭
Thanks for making this video it's so good
3:40 - Metal cleats have been banned by FIFA since the lightning incident in Africa killed literally an entire team. Their opponents were wearing plastic cleats and were unharmed.
Being a professional physiotherapist, I can say that it was an interesting video about some of the injuries that we most successfully rehabilitated and that it showed that it is not only the medical area that understands and can deal with such injuries in the area of soccer/football. Thank you for your reaction, Dr.
I remember when eriksen went down . I was at a family meal at a pub and the whole place fell silent as we all stared at the screen hoping for him to come around
I think you should look at hockey injures! I would love to see it
Eriksen is back and playing at the highest level again which is fantastic to see
I agree this needs a part 2, a very severe fracture known on mexican football is of a player called Edgar Andrade, it happened many years ago but it was well known and really painful to watch
If you ever do a part2 include Sánchez vs Fluminense, that fracture was brutal
Doctor Mike I would love to see you react to the Edward lienen injury he literally split his while thigh open
Zinedien Zidane at 7:30 went full goat mode on that guy 😂
He’s such a health nerd and it’s so satisfying. I love this dude.
Yo Doctor Mike you need to SEE the Edward Lienen Splitted Thigh because that one is just brutal...but if you don't want to it's ok because it is some very sensitive content but for a part 2 I highly recommend.
Really hoped you would review Eduardo Da Silva's ankle injury (as a Croat, it devastated me more than the loss from Turkey in 2008)
This guy is so intresting to watch, and so intresting to listen and giving us education
you didnt show marcelo accidentally breaking the opponents leg by stepping on it, that one was so horrible Marcelo started crying after the incident immediately
Or Roy Keane breaking Alfie Haaland's leg, or Azpilicueta getting kicked in the head last season by Sekou Mara, or Jordan Pickford breaking van Dijk's leg, etc. So many terrible injuries that often end careers or put them into their sunset.
Might be too graphic for KZhead but who knows? Maybe we'll get a part two
nah bruh, his leg turned into an L, jokes aside, it was pretty graphic and Lucian Sanchez, must habe hurt a lot, and his career is basically ended, because i dont think you can really recover from that
@@GmmBeastthis is a medical channel tho, he could flag it as educational or blur it. This was a good video but there were plenty of more serious injuries he could’ve reacted to like a cracked skull, leg snaps etc
Man, I'd love to see you reacting to handball injuries. That sport is brutal. One of our national players lost his eye during the match
This is a good idea of react 👌🏼 And honestly reacting to horseriding injuries would be very interesting because mama there are a tons of dangerous fall/injuries in horseriding sports like jumping, cross, horseball etc. 😯😅

5:31 I remember watching the game when Eriksen had the cardiac arrest. I've seen it before, I've done chest compressions, I've brought people back and I lost people. But that moment when I realised they were doing chest compressions was shocking because up to that point it wasn't clear whether he had just fainted. They eventually got a ROSC while still on the pitch (fortunately everything was covered by the players) and eventually were able to transfer an already conscious Eriksen to the hospital. Following the ICD-implantation, as seen in this video, Eriksen was not allowed to play in Italy anymore. But he eventually transferred to Manchester United in England, still one of the biggest clubs on the planet despite their recent lack of success, and I'd argue he's one of their most consistently good players. The fact that he managed to get out of this without any lasting damage, the fact that he can play professional sports on a world class level again is nothing short of incredible, and it was only possible because the players and the medical personnel reacted quickly and immediately started chest compressions when they found him unconscious and not breathing. So, people, if you ever end up in a situation where you find someone in cardiac arrest, start chest compressions. The earlier you start, the higher the chance of the person coming back and sustaining no or just little damage. The single most important part - next to getting help - is to start chest compressions because that's what buys you time, and ideally, that's what brings the patient back quickly. If you are on your own, start chest compressions and call for help via loudspeaker on your phone. If you are two people, one of you starts the compressions, the other one calls for help and then looks if there's a defibrillator around + switches with you when you are exhausted (which will happen after just a few minutes, and you should switch every couple of minutes)
4:14 I watched this game live and it left me in tears
i normally get parestheia a lot bc i always bang my arm on the chair or a wall and its like that for like 15-30 min its sooooo painful worse than a bee sting
This video needs a part two. Also: this but with hockey or ciclism. Those are some risky sports to get injured.
I play a lot of football and honestly, tearing my ACL was horrific. Took me a year to recover from through very intense rehab. On top of that I damaged my MCL as well recently and it's taken several months to get back to normal.
What are the medical issues of dropping a tack that was previously in the wall, into your eye? Because that happened to me a few months earlier.
Im learning a lot from your videos! ❤️
we need this guy in every soccer/football game
I got a spinal fracture in soccer when i was 16. My mom forced me to get up and go home. I couldn't move for a week and it was horrific pain. I didn't find out until over ten years later when i kept throwing my back out and having pinched nerves and went to get an x ray and that's when i found out how bad my back injury really was.
Not that finger going in to that eye bro that made me not sleep😅
Several decades ago, there was a german player who got his calf sliced open by metal studs I think
Dr mike is literally the best on YT he’s so informative and he has fun on here while also being professional ❤❤
Just a minor correction about Eriksen not being able to continue playing for Inter Milan, it wasn’t because their insurance wouldn’t cover it, it was because the Italian football federation doesn’t allow players to play with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator’s, which is why he had to be released from his contract.
Oh I remember the Eriksen incident. I'm not into football that much but it was a big deal here that Finland got into the Euros. They ended up giving the victory to Team Finland but it felt so empty.
Would be cool to see one of these videos but with NHL Injuries!
You should show Fabrice Muamba if you can. Same kinda thing happened to Christian Eriksen, but the football world nearly lost him completely, several times. That boy is a walking miracle 🙏🏻
The worst injury of a soccer/football player I remember is the one of the german player Marco Reus in a friendly right before the 2014 world cup, which Germany later won. Idk how bad it is, but he partially tore a ligament in his left ankle. After that, he's been injured for quite a few times and for relatively long periods as well. It sucks because he had the potential a world class player if we wasn't so injury prone.
One of the biggest what-ifs in football. He was truly world class, and he could've played for any club in world football until injuries kept him sidelined half of every season it felt.
your acting like you dont know about him too much
To clarify the title, this only includes men's soccer. Not that I get enjoyment out of watching injuries, but women play football/soccer too, and a discussion about differences and similarities in the types of injuries and recovery, etc, between men and women would be good.
Has Dr. Mike done a video on hockey injuries?
OMGGGG im very happy you read my comment about doing thiiiiis! great videooo!
One of the most common injuries in football is head concusions. Unfortunately not every player have an the idea of how dangerous it could be, and how easy it is to avoid
Yup, anyone who's ever played defender knows how hard your head jerks when stopping full force shots with your head. You have to have seriously strong neck muscles to get used to that long term. I know I couldn't, I'd black out after every stronger hit.
4:12 I am danish and remember watching this live.
Anyone else notice when bear was jumping up at Mike it was so cute😂😂😂😂😘
Would love to see more parts for soccer injuries, from the women’s side too would be awesome especially with the crazy increase with ACL injuries.
I’d like to see some hockey hits reactions, because I’ve seen some wild ones over the years
I've been commenting "please do ice hockey next" for the past couple sports related videos ! Since he's currently on a roll I hope he does all sports and it's included 🙈
I agree
Doctor, i also have suffered an hamstring injury too. when i was playing catch someone hit me in the hamstring. After that, in a few weeks it's recovered.
Luciano Sanchez recent injury during the Libertadores was terrible. His lower leg literally turned all the way around. Marcelo (who was the one who unintentionally caused it) left the field crying.
Not even played the video yet but, as a very recent example, there's the injury sustained by Luciano Sánchez, caused by Marcelo, in the Fluminense-Argentinos match last month in the Copa Libertadores. It's frightening how 'casual' it happened.
