#4 An eye injury rules out Philippe Mexes from Champions League tie
Back in November 2013, AC Milan's French defender Philippe Mexes was an important member of the side and he was all set to be part of the playing squad for the tie against Celtic in the UEFA Champions League. However, he complained that he was suffering from an eye injury and hence, had to be dropped from the side.

While the eye injury bit did not raise many eyebrows, the reason behind the problem was absolutely bonkers and the details emerged later on, long after Milan had won the game 3-0. In medical terms, Mexes suffered from what is known as central serous retinopathy but the media in Italy reported that Mexes had spent a bit too long under his sunbed in order to get a tan and that had precipitated the injury to his eye.
The vice-president of the club Adriano Galliani was dumbfounded and could only describe the issue as 'bizarre'.
