Jordan Pickford suffers injury scare in warm up ahead of England vs Slovakia as he is forced to leave pitch early
JORDAN PICKFORD suffered an injury scare ahead of the Euro 2024 clash against Slovakia.
England face the Slovakians in the last-16 in Gelsenkirchen this evening.
And fortunately for the Three Lions, Pickford is in the starting XI despite seemingly hurting his left wrist or hand as he went down to make a save in the warm-up.
The goalkeeper was seen grimacing as he sat on his knees in pain.
He then got back to his feet and was seen talking to a physio on a member of the England coaching setup.
Pickford appeared uncomfortable as he tried to soldier on before leaving the warm-up early.
The Everton stopper walked off the pitch with a look of disappointment written across his face.
And the Three Lions' No1 then gave back-up keeper Aaron Ramsdale a hug as he trudged away.
But with concern mounting, Pickford appeared in the tunnel and was ready to go for kick-off.
However, the brief moment of panic left fans worried, with one saying: "We might be doomed."
Another reacted: "Uh oh, Pickford hurt?"
