Alan Shearer showed off cuts and bruises on Instagram on Friday after a bike crash, with the former England striker sharing photographs showing his arm and leg injured. He wrote on Instagram: 'Ouch. ' The first photograph revealed scratches on Shearer's forearm and bicep, while the second photograph showed his knee and shin scraped extensively.
It remains unclear precisely how the accident unfolded. Separately, Shearer named an England starting XI for this summer's World Cup, as manager Thomas Tuchel has summoned a 35-man squad for the March international break's friendlies. England will face Uruguay on Friday evening and Japan on Tuesday, March 31.
Ouch. Pot holes on the bike are not good!!!
Shearer believes England can win the World Cup.
Thomas Tuchel is obviously going to tweak it a bit with players that he's brought in. I like the idea of what he has done with the 35-man squad in terms of giving players a bit of a rest for one game and then the rest of them will come in for the next.
It'll be difficult to gauge where we are because I guess there's going to be a lot of players in either 11 that might not even be in the 26-man squad that he's going to take to the USA, Mexico and Canada. But what it does do is, gives a good opportunity for one or two.
I guess he's got the vast majority in his mind of who he wants to take already, but there might just be a spot for one or two that can make a late push.
I believe England can win the World Cup.
When you look at our talent, when you look at the players fighting for positions, then yeah. If you go through the squad, then yeah, England have got a really, really good chance to win it.
