BBC pundit Alan Shearer has suffered gruesome injuries after his bike hit a pothole in major crash.
Ongoing Spat with Anthony Gordon
The bike accident comes amid Shearer’s ongoing spat with Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon. Shearer had been critical of Gordon’s performances, and the striker hit back after netting the winning goal against Chelsea.
Gordon faced criticism after being left on the bench for Newcastle’s Champions League meeting with Barcelona on Wednesday, having fallen ill before the match. He could only appear as a late substitute for Eddie Howe’s side, which drew plenty of media attention.
When asked about Gordon’s response, Shearer was defiant, saying: “Good! I love it! That’s fine. You always get the chance, the right to reply as a player. I wouldn’t change anything I said the other night against Barcelona. Illness wouldn’t have kept me out for a game.”
It’s clear the fall has taken its toll on the football icon, but he’ll no doubt be hoping to recover quickly.
