Sam Thompson has suffered an injury just hours before he’s set to play for the celebrity Soccer Aid match.
The radio host, 31, revealed he had been ‘living’ in the physio room in the lead up to the game, which will take place on Sunday, June 9 at Stamford Bridge.
Sharing an update to his Instagram Story on Saturday, Sam uploaded a clip while he received treatment from the team.
Reuniting with his former I’m A Celebrity campmate, Tony Bellew – who will play for rival team World XI, the duo caught up after Sam’s physiotherapy session.
Walking into the room, the boxer joked: ‘Do you just live in here? You’ve been in here all day.’
