Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, this is a very common injury in football players specially those who do not use shin guard. This is a clear case of soft tissue injury with injury to perosteum which wil be immensely painful but wil come down in due course of time with cold packs and anti-inflammatory medicines.
