Chievo goalkeeper, Stefano Sorrentino, has shown off the injuries he obtained following his collision with Cristiano Ronaldo during their opening Serie A game against Juventus.
The 39-year-old was left unconscious on the ground after making contact with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as both went for a loose ball.
Striker Mario Mandzukic eventually turned the ball home following the scramble, but VAR ruled out the strike after it was revealed that the former Real Madrid ace had handled the ball in the build up.

Having made his £100million move this summer to the top Italian league, Ronaldo was hungry to break his duck in a competitive match having scored eight minutes into a pre-season friendly against Juventus’ youth side.
Sorrentino – who rejoined Chievo from Palermo in 2016 – was forced to leave the field of play and was replaced by Andrea Seculin before being taken to hospital.
He spent the night in hospital and after returning home posted a picture of himself on his Instagram in a neck brace with his nose bandaged up.
The extent of his injuries include a fractured nose, whiplash and a bruised shoulder.
After leading 2-1 for 75 minutes, Chievo eventually lost 3-2 following an own goal from defender Mattia Bani and a last-gasp injury-time winner from Federico Bernardeschi.
