Ebere Eze's heartbreaking achilles injury was made worse by the Crystal Palace star finding out immediately after that he was set for his first ever call-up to the England senior team.
Eze joined Palace last summer and lit up the Premier League in his first season, quickly impressing fans to become the Eagles' star player.
Just days before the end of the season, though, he suffered a serious achilles injury in an innocuous moment in training, with no other players around him.
