England’s Anthony Gordon turns into butt of teammates’ jokes after falling off bike

England star Anthony Gordon has become the butt of his teammates’ jokes after taking a tumble on a bike ride.

The 23-year-old winger made his major tournament debut as a late substitute in the 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday (June 25) which crowned the Three Lions as Group C winners.

When he turned up to training two days later he was sporting a 2in gash to his chin, two cuts to his nose, scratches on the back of both hands and a large plaster on his left leg.

It happened when he came a cropper on a bike ride with fellow players as part of their post-match recovery at their tournament HQ in Blankenhain.



His injuries include scratches on the back of both hands

Asked about the Newcastle United star’s injuries England defender Marc Guehi, 23, said with a laugh: “He fell off his bike.

“The boys went out on a bike ride. I actually wasn’t there.

“I heard about it and I was actually talking to him but not paying attention to him.

“But he’s OK, he’s OK. He just fell off his bike.

“It’s been a bit of a joke in camp but he’s doing well.’’
