Soccer Aid: Jamie Theakston 01
Star injury shockers
The Soccer Aid celebrities and legends have been blighted by injury ahead of the big match, and it’s unclear as to whether England goalie hopeful Jamie Theakston will even play.

“I’ve pulled muscles in the top of my thigh after a day of intensive training and am in real pain," Jamie sighed. "I haven’t been able to train at all today (Saturday) and the physio says if it’s a groin injury I’m definitely out.”

Ramsay in hot water
Meanwhile, ROW captain Gordon Ramsay has aggravated a knee injury during penalty shoot out practice.

Legendary player Romario took his penalty and the ball hit the wall of players Ramsay was part of. With his left knee already heavily strapped, Ramsay took time out of training to rest the injury.

Fountain on ice
Dancing On Ice hunk Chris Fountain was next onto the physio’s table after a nasty tackle against Patrick Kielty knocked him to the ground, injuring his lower back and neck.

With a huge 21st birthday bash planned that night in Leeds, Fountain was quick to strip down to his Calvin Klein’s, receiving some emergency on site treatment to ensure he would make the party in time.

Get the man an ice pack, people!

Paddy's in pain

Johnny's crowned captain
During training England boss Harry Redknapp selected his captain to lead England out.

With a difficult decision to make, it was down to Ben Shephard and Johnny Wilkes but a thrilled Johnny was picked and will go up against Rest of the World captain, Gordon Ramsay.
