Cudicini suffers "life-changing" road accident

Carlo suffered injuries to both his wrists and his pelvis in the accident

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has suffered "potentially life-changing injuries" in a motorbike accident in east London, police said.

He was taken to hospital after his BMW bike was involved in a collision with a car in Walthamstow at about 1030 GMT.

He has fractured his wrists and injured his pelvis but a spokesman for the north London club said they were still waiting for hospital test results.

The Italian, 36, signed from London rivals Chelsea in January this year.

The female driver and a child passenger walked away from the Ford Fiesta Cudicini was in collision with and did not need hospital treatment.

The accident happened on Forest Road.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "A 36-year-old male suffered injuries described by the London Ambulance Service as possibly life-changing and was taken to an east London hospital for further assessment and treatment.

"No arrests have been made."

A statement on Tottenham's website said: "Carlo Cudicini has fractured his wrists and injured his pelvis after being involved in a road accident this morning.

"The 36-year-old Italian goalkeeper has been admitted to hospital and undergone scans under the supervision of club medical staff.

"The club will update supporters on Carlo as soon as there is any further information."

Cudicini was signed by manager Harry Redknapp on a free transfer and has made eight appearances standing in for the injured Heurelho Gomes.

He spent almost 10 years at the west London club after spells at AC Milan and Lazio.

His father Fabio was AC Milan's goalkeeper in the 1960s.

Yeah i though that too...

Unusual as well for an injury to be described as "life-changing".... don't know if i would read too much into that at the moment to be honest.

Could well mean that he won't be back playing anymore which is a real shame. Also a real shame for him the move to spurs never worked out for him or improved his situation.

[Kez 2,727]

OMG

I really hope he's okay

Hope he's okay and gets well soon.

[Laylabelle 9,305]

speedy recovery!!

[terry26 6]

i was shocked and very sad when i read that today as well

our site has wished him well in his recovery

SPEEDY RECOVERY CUDDERS

[Synorbs 0]

The only one who is glad to see he got his after moving to the YIDS to be back up keeper as opposed to ours. Any other club i wouldn't have minded, Arsenal, West Ham, Man Utd/Shitty, well maybe Liverpool too but that's just because i fucking hate scousers.

I hope he recovers and all but i'm kinda glad he got some divine punishment for swapping back up here for there. Even if he had gone knowing he woulda been no1 for sure then i wouldn't be glad his wrists are fucked. As it is i kinda hope there's complications and they end up needind amputation if not then just perma-casts.

[Kez 2,727]

Who the fuck are you?

Shut the fuck up.
