England's Gordon takes a tumble off‑pitch, gifted helmet by journalist
Anthony Gordon hasn't played much in Euro 2024, yet he's already managed to get some bruises. A journalist decided to ensure the safety of the England representative by bringing him a bicycle helmet. The scene greatly amused Cole Palmer.
Coach Gareth Southgate honoured 23-year-old Anthony Gordon with a call-up to Euro 2024. The former junior and youth England representative has little experience in the senior team so far.
Like other England representatives, Anthony Gordon has not yet shone on the pitch in any special way. The Newcastle United player practically did not get a chance, as he only got two minutes as a substitute in the goalless match against Slovenia. However, Anthony Gordon still made headlines.
The footballer appeared at one of the training sessions with wounds on his chin and hand. The media established the cause of the injuries: a fall during a bicycle ride. Riding bicycles was a way to regenerate after the England match, but it was somewhat dangerous.
A journalist from the Daily Mail who collaborates with the English team decided to ensure Anthony Gordon's safety and have a bit of fun. He handed the footballer a bicycle helmet. The athlete accepted the gift with a smile, although he assured that the unlucky ride also took place with a helmet.
The situation amused Cole Palmer, who was nearby, even more. He found himself in the right place and time to see the funny scene. Cole Palmer laughed heartily before regaining his composure.
Things will get a bit more serious in the England team on Sunday. On that day, the European vice champions will play a match for a place in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. In that match, they will be favourites as they will face Slovakia. Another matter is that Anthony Gordon and the company have not shown much exciting play in the group and have things to improve before the crucial matches in the tournament.
