Newcastle United Skipper smashes into Traffic Lights in Athens after Greece's 1-0 victory. He escaped the car, just before it set on fire, and was taken to hospital by an ambulance. Medics confirmed he had a broken arm.

Newcastle centre back, Nikos Dabizas broke his arm in a car crash shortly after Greece's 1-0 win over Ukraine.

Dabizas, who is expected to leave the Magpies this summer, played as the Greeks moved to the top of Group 6, ahead of favourites Spain.

He smashed into traffic lights in Athens and managed to get out of his car before it caught fire.

He was rushed to hospital, where it was confirmed that he had a broken arm.

Dabizas captained Greece on his 55th cap.

With him set to leave the club though, the fans want to know where he is going! Here is a little update...

Newcastle United are still to hear from Portsmouth over Nikos Dabizas. Pompey boss Harry Redknapp confirmed his interest this weekend. The possibility of a summer switch has not been ruled out.
