Bloodied Zlatan Ibrahimovic shows off gruesome head injury but Andy Carroll tells him ‘I’ve had worse from the missus’
ANDY CARROLL gave a hilarious response to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s post showing off a bloody injury.
The Swedish legend posted a picture of his scalp, which had suffered a nasty cut.

A third said: “Big Andy’s not messing.”
Another added: “Hahaha amazing.”
Ibrahimovic retired from professional football in 2023 after his second stint at AC Milan.
Carroll, 35, however, is still playing and, in the summer, joined French fourth-division side Bordeaux.
The striker has already become a cult hero at the club, having dropped down to help the club climb back up the divisions.
He was recently spotted in Mallorca on holiday with his new girlfriend Lou Teasdale.
He was previously married to Billy Mucklow, but their 11-year relationship came to an end earlier this year.
Carroll starred for the likes of Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham before he left England in 2023 for France.
