Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya suffered a horrific nose-altering injury during his time at Blackburn Rovers before making his name in the Premier League.

The current first-choice shot-stopper in north London was born in Barcelona but moved to England in 2012 to join Blackburn at the age of 16.

Five years later, after a season on loan at Southport in the National League, Raya became the first choice goalkeeper at the Championship side before moving to Brentford just two years later.

It was during his time at Blackburn that Raya suffered a serious injury, which left him hopsitalised.
