Swansea City defender Alan Tate has broken his leg after a "bizarre golfing accident", the Premier League newcomers said on Sunday.
"The club's vice captain was a passenger in a golf buggy that lost control at a local golf club on Sunday afternoon and he caught his leg against a tree," a statement said.
Footballers have suffered an array of strange injuries over the years with Spain goalkeeper Santiago Canizares missing the 2002 World Cup after a piece of glass from a smashed shave bottle severed his foot tendon.
Several players have injured themselves reaching for the television remote control.
