Pontus Dahlberg suffered a deep cut to the head in training, which left him with a laceration that showed part of his skull.

The injury was a result of a collision with the knee of a teammate during a practice match on Sunday morning. Astonishingly, the young keeper was unphased by the knock, and wanted to continue playing.

'Hornets' senior keeper Ben Foster shared a video of his teammate's war wound on social media, and upon viewing it, one wonders just how the young stopper was still keen to play on.

Twitter reacted by praising the rookie, with Watford fans calling him "hard as nails" and "hard as a rock".

Another user compared the young keeper to the legendary Monty Python character the Black Knight, who famously declared 'Tis but a scratch' after having his arm chopped off.

The teenager is yet to make a Premier League appearance for the London side, having signed a five year deal last Janaury from Swedish side IFK Goteborg.
