Freak Reno Gattuso injury

On Thursday night, Braga take on AC Milan at the San Siro. Gennaro Gattuso will be at the heart of the Rossoneri’s midfield for the Group E UEFA Cup match, having recently recovered from injury. The Italian bashed his head and dislocated all five fingers of his left hand during an incident in a training match. He also required an operation to repair a broken metacarpus. Who caused this terrible physical damage? Watch the video to find out.
