Alan Shearer has suffered several cuts to his arms and legs after he was involved in a bike crash.

The Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer revealed the extent of his injuries on Friday and said he had fallen off his bike after hitting a pothole.

The two images Shearer shared showed multiple cuts to his arms and legs, as well as swelling on his upper chest.

Shearer accompanied the images with the caption: ‘Ouch. Pot holes on a bike are not good!!!’

The 55-year-old, who scored 260 Premier League goals in his career, is currently a pundit for the BBC, Amazon Prime and Premier League Productions.

The former Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers and England striker is also part of The Rest Is Football podcast alongside former Match of the Day host Gary Lineker and Micah Richards.
