Arsenal loanee Lucas Torreira took taking one for the team to the next level during Fiorentina's draw with Inter Milan on Saturday.
The midfielder’s front tooth became loose during the crucial Serie A game, but instead of coming off a substitute, he decided to rip it out and play on. The Uruguayan had put Fiorentina ahead after 50 minutes but Inter’s equaliser five minutes later meant Torreira felt compelled to soldier on rather than exit the contest.
Serie A allows up to five substitutes for each side during a game but the Gunners playmaker decided his tooth problem was not worth sacrificing a replacement for. The 26-year-old has netted four times in 25 league fixtures this season with La Viola eight in the table.
