THESE are the horror injuries an FC Zenit defender suffered after allegedly being beaten up outside his flat.
Denis Terentyev, 25, was left with a black eye, split lip, squashed nose and “lying in a pool of my own blood”.
He says he was looking for a place in the car park outside his flat when he was blocked by a woman driving a Mercedes.
Another car pulled in behind him and he found himself blocked.
Terentyev insists he was trying to help the woman move her car but she struggled to understand him.
He said: “The man from the car behind approached me.
“He told me to drive backward a little bit. I asked him not to interfere as I was going to solve the problem myself.”
That reportedly sparked a bust-up between the pair and Terentyev was knocked out almost immediately.

He took a picture of his gruesome wounds to prove the extent of his injuries.
Terentyev added: “I was sitting in my car in the puddle of my own blood. The attacker had disappeared.”
