VfB striker Mario Gomez would appear to be the brunt of all bad luck at the moment with his knee injury against VfL Wolfsburg now followed by a broken metacarpus.

As Dr. Raymond Best treated Mario Gomez on the pitch during the VfL Wolfsburg tie after a challenge with Jonathan Santana, the striker knew all too well that the injury was going to put him out for some time. In anger Gomez punched the medical box which resulted in him breaking a metacarpus. The extent of the injury to his hand was first diagnosed on Wednesday - a double blow for the youngster who commented: "I said straight away to our doc on Saturday that the ligaments were torn which has since been confirmed. My anger at the situation caused me to lash out at the medical box which has now resulted in this."
