David, who had hopes of joining the England squad in this summer's World Cup, was first injured when Chievo's Giampiero Pinzi struck him in the face, leaving him with a bloody cut on his right cheek.
Then came the devestation when David fell to his knees and hobbled off the pitch in pain after tearing his achilles tendon. This injury puts his World Cup dreams in great jeopardy because he will need to rest, heal, and recuperate for atleast nine months.
He did undergo a successful surgery in Finland with Victoria by his side.
