Anthony Gordon, the talented England football player, recently gave fans a scare after falling off an e-bike during a recovery session. The incident occurred the day after Gordon made a positive impact as a substitute in a match against Slovenia, leading to calls for him to start in the upcoming game against Slovakia.
During the recovery session, defender Ezri Konsa witnessed Gordon’s fall and couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of his teammate lying on the ground with bloodied face and hands. Konsa admitted that the e-bike was unlike any he had ridden before, equipped with a turbo button that allowed for increased speed. He speculated that Gordon may have pressed the wrong brake due to the different brake configurations in England, causing him to lose control.
Despite the injuries sustained in the fall, Gordon appeared in good spirits during training, with a deep graze on his chin and other minor injuries serving as a joke among his teammates. His pace and trickery on the pitch had impressed during the match against Slovenia, creating scoring opportunities for his team.
Fortunately, the injuries are not expected to affect Gordon’s match fitness, and he is expected to be available for selection in the upcoming clash against Slovakia. The England coaching staff confirmed that his injuries would not hinder his participation and that he would be fit to play.
In addition to Gordon’s potential return, England manager Gareth Southgate received further good news with the anticipated comeback of left-back Luke Shaw. Shaw, who has been sidelined since February due to injury, declared confidently that he would be ready for the next game.
With Gordon’s injury scare behind him and the return of Shaw, England’s prospects for success in the upcoming match against Slovakia are looking positive. As fans eagerly await the team’s performance, they can take solace in knowing that their talented players are determined to overcome any obstacles that come their way.
