Usain Bolt carried off on stretcher as Soccer Aid turns into injury nightmare for world’s fastest man
USAIN BOLT had to be carried off the Stamford Bridge pitch on a STRETCHER as he suffered a horror injury.
The world’s fastest ever man was playing for the World XI against England at Soccer Aid, which raises millions for Unicef.
The Jamaican, 37, was playing at centre-back having started the game up front.
When Jermain Defoe went dribbling past team-mates, Bolt attempted to put a foot in.
But the sprint king – wearing his record-breaking 9.58 on his back – Bolt appeared to roll his ankle or get his foot stuck into the turf and immediately went to ground.
It allowed Defoe a clear path at goal, with the former England striker smashing the ball past Tony Bellew to make it 4-2.
As the England players were celebrating, Bolt stayed on the ground.
He eventually needed medical attention and was quickly carried off on a stretcher, with his leg wrapped in a splint.
It is unclear exactly what Bolt injured.
