Manchester United star Marcos Rojo reveals nasty injury that left his head pouring with blood in Manchester derby
Rojo was left with blood pouring from his wound after a nasty collision with David Silva
MARCOS ROJO has revealed the extent of his gruesome head injury that forced him off in the Manchester derby.
The defender was hooked off at half time after seeing blood pouring from his head following a collision with David Silva.
The Argentine received treatment in the touchline and had the wound bandaged up but was eventually replaced by Victor Lindelof.
As Silva came out of the incident unscathed, Rojo took the brunt of the injury and was pictured catching blood that was pouring from the cut.
And the 27-year-old has revealed the brutal cut that required two staples.
Speaking after the match, boss Jose Mourinho said: "He's a brave guy.
"I don't know, let's see if he can be ready for the match. If he's not ready, we have other alternatives to play."
