Footballs' bizarre injury treatments

Written by Simon Rice Sunday, 22 November 2009 09:14

Robin Van Persie this week jetted off to Belgrade to undergo a bizarre treatment for an ankle injury he sustained while on international duty.

The Arsenal striker is visiting the clinic of Dr Marijana Kovacevic who has built a reputation among European footballers for being something of a miracle healer. Among the treatments offered by Dr Kovacevic is the use of placenta fluid.

Van Persie's decision to visit Dr Kovacevic has raised a few eyebrows but he's not the first footballer to try bizarre treatments in a bid to speed up the recovery process.

"I am going to give it a try. It can't do any harm and if it helps, it helps..." said the Arsenal striker .
