Dos Santos is currently on the books of Club America after two injury-hit seasons at LA Galaxy - and was badly hurt in their clash against Guadalajara.

As he lunged to win a 50-50 ball, Guadalajara's Bresino stormed in and launched his studs into Dos Santos' thigh.

The former Spurs ace immediately signalled for help as blood poured from his gaping wound.

Medical staff quickly moved to bandage up the horror gash and stem the bleeding.

But now it has been revealed Club America fear their star attacker could be ruled out with a fractured knee as a result of the tackle.

Bresino was shown a straight red card for the disgusting lunge - as Club America went on to win 4-1.

Dos Santos has been unfortunate with injuries his entire career - which started at Barcelona's famous La Masia academy.

After briefly breaking into Barca's first-team, the 106-cap Mexico international earned a move to Tottenham.

But an ankle injury limited him to just 17 Premier League matches as he was loaned out to Ipswich, Galatasaray and Racing Santander.

Dos Santos moved on to Mallorca, Villarreal and Galaxy before heading hope to Mexico to join Club America this summer.
