Atletico Madrid forward Borja Baston broke his wrist in a freak training ground accident on Thursday after a strength building elastic snapped and became dislodged, hitting hit him on the wrist.

The apparatus had been attached from the ground but snapped out of its lodging, leaving the 23-year-old needing surgery, which the club then said had been a success.

Atletico did not say how long the striker would be sidelined.
