Adelaide Crows star Luke Nankervis has seen the funny side of having to be treated in hospital after he suffered from lockjaw.
The 22-year-old has been snapped in a hospital waiting room, with his mouth stuck wide open.
Teammate Josh Rachele has posted vision of Nankervis suffering from the issue to his social media account, with a video captioned ‘Pov: your friend gets locked jaw at 12am #emergency #hospital #helpme’.
In the short clip, Nankervis is seen visibly struggling with the drama and tries to free his jaw from the awkward position, with no luck.
Despite the tough situation eventuating, the young footy star is also captured smiling, and laughing after realising he was being filmed.
Fans have since been left stunned with the hilarious vision and have taken to social media to voice their feelings.

Should teammates share embarrassing medical moments online, or is that crossing the line?
‘I just know nobody has a straight face,’ one person wrote.
‘Better hope there’s no flies around,’ another added.
‘Worst feeling!! Hopefully it’s improved now,’ one more said.
The funny video has now obtained more than 100000 views, and almost 10000 likes.
Nankervis has been named to play in his side’s upcoming match versus the Richmond Tigers.
The Crows currently sit in 11th place, and boast a 50 per cent win/loss record in 2026.
Club captain Jordan Dawson is set to provide a much needed boost to the side when he returns after missing two of the Crows’ last three matches.
Dawson has endured a difficult time in recent weeks, after he was rocked by the death of his eldest brother.
