England's Anthony Gordon crashed during a bike ride with teammates on Thursday.

At the same evening's training session, the 23-year-old was seen with scrapes on his hands, arms, and face.

During Friday's press conference, Gordon stepped up to the podium.

It was just supposed to be a bike ride for recovery. I rode down a hill and tried to take a picture for my family, and before I knew it, I was face-first on the ground.

The Newcastle player said it no longer hurts, but it stung when his wounds were cleaned at England's European Championship base.

The handbrake is on the left side, and I tried to press the right one to slow down, but it didn't slow down – it came to a sudden stop, and I flew three meters into the air, chin first.

Anthony Gordon has had playing time in one of England's matches, in the 0–0 meeting with Slovenia when he came on in the 89th minute.
