Leaving the house to go to work on a morning only to find your car has a flat tyre is a deflating experience for anyone, even a professional footballer.
It was the fate which befell Aaron Ramsey on Wednesday, as he attempted to leave his home for training at Arsenal's London Colney facility.
He shared a snap of the puncture via Instagram, without expanding on why the air had gone from one of the tyres on his Mercedes SLS, worth around £200,000.
A frustrated Ramsey captioned the picture 'not a good start to the day', clearly unhappy at the unwelcome turn of events.
