ROSS BARKLEY was left covered in blood after suffering a broken nose against Crystal Palace.
Fortunately he was able to continue playing after being patched up by the Luton medical team.
Barkley sustained the injury following a collision with Palace defender Joel Ward.
The pair clashed when challenging for the ball but Ward came out unscathed.
Barkley meanwhile was left with a bruised and bloodied nose with his shirt covered in blood.
He was given a cloth to mop up the mess and had to change into a spare, numberless shirt.
Unfortunately for Barkley the match went from bad to worse as Jean-Philippe Mateta poked the hosts in front just a minute after play resumed.
