Cesc Fabregas showed off the result of a nasty-looking clash with Charlie Adam's arm during Chelsea's victory against Stoke City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The Blues extended their lead at the top of Barclays Premier League to seven points with a 2-1 win but it didn't come without cost for Spain international Fabregas.
The former Barcelona midfielder was left bloodied after being caught by a flailing arm following a tussle with Adam, the scorer of a 66-yard wonder goal.
Fabregas took to Instagram after the game on Saturday to show off his battle scar - a large gash across the top of his swollen nose.
'At least I might be able to fix my nose after all... Good win today!' Fabregas wrote alongside the picture on the social media site.
It is not the first time that the 27-year-old's hooter has been in the wars. While an Arsenal player in 2008, Fabregas suffered a broken nose playing for Spain.
