England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford suffered an injury scare in the warm-up ahead of the Euro 2024 last-16 clash with Slovakia.

Pickford appeared to have an issue with his left hand and seemed angry as he left the pitch ahead of kick off.

The incident occurred as the 30-year-old attempted to save a shot during the warm-up. 

Everton goalkeeper Pickford subsequently grimaced as he went down on his knees. 

However, Pickford was still able to start the game in Gelsenkirchen.
