Antonio Valencia looked worse for wear after a nasty collision with Olympiacos forward Joel Campbell in the early stages of the Champions League second leg at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United winger went up for a header on the edge of the Olympiacos penalty with the on-loan Arsenal forward and came off second best.

He had to receive treatment from the United physios, and a large lump appeared next to his eye after the incident.

The Ecuador international was left out of the 3-0 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday, but returned to the line-up for the crucial second leg against their Greek opposition.

As a reward for his return to the starting XI, Valencia received a nasty eye lump.

Valencia was one of four changes to the United side against Liverpool. David Moyes also recalled Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Danny Welbeck to the starting XI in a bid to overturn the 2-0 first-leg deficit.

Valencia was replaced by Ashley Young with 15 minutes remaining.

Rooney has played on with ten times worse. This was a minor bump.

If that challenge wasn't a foul I don't know what is. Very poor ref but he did not want to give United the penalty the foul warranted.

A true sportsman, who wanted to stay on the pitch no matter what This is the kind of true grit. The Manchester United team need to follow as an example. This was his Terry Butcher, Paul Ince moment. I was amazed the ref didnt make him go off. Well done mate.
