Former Portsmouth striker Dario Silva has had his right leg amputated following a serious car crash, according to El Pais newspaper.
The 33-year-old ex-Malaga man, who played for Pompey last season, was driving his car in Montevideo on Sunday but lost control and hit a column of street lights. He was placed in a medically-induced coma.
Doctor Mario Canela, of La Espanola hospital, explained the surgery was "to amputate the leg from the knee down".
