This was unexpected…

There was an unusual turn of event at England’s training camp in Repino on Wednesday as head coach of the side Gareth Southgate suffered an injury. The Three Lions boss reportedly dislocated his shoulder after taking a tumble during a 10 km run.

According to The Guardian, he was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital and he received treatment with the assistance of the England team doctor, Rob Chakraverty.

“I might not be celebrating any goals as athletically in future,” he said.

“The doc has made it clear that punching the air is not an option. We have got such a great support team and they were there very quickly. They were supposed to be relaxing because we let the players have a bit of time off and I am causing them to work.

“We are lucky we have a top-class medical team around us, so it was fine. I had brilliant help from them, and I am just sorry I managed to ruin their day off.

“It is better this is me than one of the players,” Southgate added.

“They were a bit surprised in the team meeting and were asking: ‘What have you been doing?’ As always, they were probably quite amused.

“It is good that we have had a quiet day today so I had prepared the meeting before and we are on to preparations for Panama. I am just a bit gutted because I was on for my record 10k time.”

However, Southgate’s plight as unfortunate as it is did not deter fans from reacting on social media. Here are a few of the tweets:
