MILAN (Reuters) - Sassuolo defender Francesco Acerbi has played every minute of every match for the Italian club since Oct. 18 2015 without being injured, suspended, substituted or dropped.

On Sunday, the 29-year-old, who was twice treated for testicular cancer earlier in his career, reached a remarkable milestone as he completed his 100th consecutive full game in all competitions in the 1-0 Serie A win at Sampdoria.
