Manchester United midfielder Anderson has been pulled unconscious from the wreckage of a burning car moments before it exploded, according to reports.
The 22-year-old is said to have spent several hours in hospital after the crash on a rural road in in the Geres area of Braga, Portugal.
Witnesses said the Premier League star owed his life to being pulled "lifeless" from the vehicle shortly before it went up in flames.
The Guardian, quoting local reports, said Anderson had spent the night at the Sardinha Biba nightclub before leaving in a £125,000 Audi R8.
The crash is believed to have happened at 7am when the car came off the road and hit the wall of a farm before flying into a field.
The car had just two seats but Anderson had two companions - a friend, named Victor, and a young Brazilian woman.
It was unclear who had been behind the wheel.
All three were treated for concussion, whiplash and shock and discharged from hospital later in the morning, reports said.
The woman is believed to have needed the most treatment after the crash, which is being investigated by police.
Portuguese press reported Anderson's agency, Gestifute, said he was returning to Manchester United to continue his rehabilitation.

I'm sure €50k and a couple of season tickets (well, they've a few going spare) to his mate will recompense him for taking the rap and saying he was the driver.
Is Rooney on the front page of the S*n this morning? |
