Anthony Gordon wounded after Euro 2024 bike crash as photos show bashed-up England star | Football | Sport


Anthony Gordon was battered and bruised as he took England training on Thursday. The Newcastle United winger reportedly fell off a push bike at the Three Lions’ training base near Erfurt earlier this week.

Gareth Southgate’s squad have been riding bikes around their training complex during the tournament to help with recovery. On Wednesday’s ride, according to BBC Sport, the unfortunate Gordon took a fall.

While he may have preferred to keep the incident under wraps, photos of Gordon training with a badly-grazed chin and marks on his hands and wrists gave the game away. It is not thought that the wounds will harm his chances of making it into England’s starting XI against Slovakia on Sunday.

Many England fans wanted Gordon to land the left-wing starting berth at Euro 2024. But he was given no minutes whatsoever by Southgate until a brief cameo in the goalless draw with Slovenia last time out.

He was so effective in those few minutes, and England have been so disappointing offensively in this tournament, that Gordon has thrust himself into contention to bank more significant game time in the last 16.
