Robbie Brady may look a little different for the official Ireland Euro 2016 photograph after suffering a serious facial wound last night.
The Ireland defender was in action for Norwich in their 2-1 loss to Chelsea when he climbed to win a header.
Unfortunately for the Irishman, at the same time Gary O’Neil also rose into the air ,and as the two men failed to call it, they did succeed in suffering a sickening collision.
Brady lost two teeth in the incident, while O’Neil suffered a massive head wound as his forehead smashed into his team-mate’s mouth.
It looked very very nasty.

O'Neil and Brady have a nasty clash of heads and both require plenty of treatment. #CFCLive

After the game O’Neil tweeted to say he was fine.
All ok! Apart from the result! Thanks for the messages! See you Saturday! #ncfc

But as of yet, there’s no update from Brady, who is probably heading to his nearest dentist this morning.
