Sam Thompson has suffered an injury just hours before he is set to play in the celebrity Soccer Aid match. The 31-year-old radio host revealed he has been 'living' in the physio room ahead of the game, which takes place on Sunday, June 9 at Stamford Bridge.
Sharing an update on Instagram Story on Saturday, Thompson posted a clip of himself receiving treatment. He was visited by former I'm A Celebrity campmate Tony Bellew, who will play for the rival World XI team. Bellew joked: 'Do you just live in here? You've been in here all day.' Thompson replied: 'It's because I've tweaked the old quad, mate.'
Thompson captioned the post: 'They call the physio room, the Sam room. What a group of legends.' He added that Bellew did not believe he was injured.
The Soccer Aid match will feature a mix of former professional footballers and celebrities representing England and the World XI, raising money for Unicef. Thompson will be joined by stars including Tom Hiddleston, Danny Dyer, and Paddy McGuinness, while the World XI includes Usain Bolt, Tommy Fury, and Roman Kemp.
Soccer Aid for UNICEF was created in 2006 by Robbie Williams. Last year's event at Old Trafford raised a record £14.6 million.
