Shia LaBeouf’s may have to have a finger amputated following the severity of his car crash last week, claim latest reports.

The actor is currently nursing a heavily bandaged hand after flipping his truck twice in a collision with another vehicle in Hollywood on 27 July.

He underwent surgery and spent several days in hospital, causing delays to his new movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Director Michael Bay is currently adding LaBeouf's injury to the movie's storyline - and may have to incorporate a missing finger, if reports from Starmagazine prove true.

The site suggests LaBeouf has been warned by doctors they may have to remove the digit.

A source tells the Star: "Shia called producers and told them. It's really thrown the movie into turmoil."

A representative for LaBeouf, who is facing DUI charges stemming from the crash, has yet to comment.
