Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon on that accident during a bike ride with the England team:

"I was going down the hill and tried to take a picture for my family and before I knew it I was face first into the floor. It's only few cuts, it’s not anything painful.

"The front brake is on the left-hand side and I tried to press the right one to slow down - and it didn’t slow down, it came to a full stop. I’ve gone 10 feet in the air, chin first.

"I just carried on and finished the bike ride. When I got back to camp, I had to put stuff on it, which absolutely stung. To be fair, no-one saw me thankfully."
