The Newcastle United legend took his story and shared a series of photos showing his arm and leg in poor condition, writing: &#8220;Yeah. Potholes on your bike aren&#8217;t good!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The first photo revealed a series of scratches on Mr Shearer&#8217;s forearm and bicep as he reclined on a sofa and raised his arm to demonstrate the severity of his injuries. Meanwhile, a second photo showed the striker-turned-punitive with extensive scrapes on his knees and shins. It&#8217;s unclear exactly how the accident occurred, but photos clearly show that there was a severe impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>It comes after the 55-year-old was named in England&#8217;s starting XI this week, which he will select for this summer&#8217;s World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Manager Thomas Tuchel has called up a massive 35-man squad for two friendlies during the March international break, with the Three Lions facing Uruguay on Friday night before facing Japan on Tuesday 31 March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Speaking to Betfair about Tuchel&#8217;s selection, Shearer, who downplayed the opportunity to use Trent Alexander-Arnold, explained: &#8220;Thomas Tuchel is obviously going to make some adjustments with the players he brings in. I like the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat he&#8217;s done with the 35-man squad in terms of giving players a bit of a rest for one game and bringing the rest in for the next game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be hard to see where we&#8217;re at because there&#8217;s going to be a lot of players in both XIs that might not even be in the 26-man squad that he&#8217;s going to take to America, Mexico and Canada. But what it does do is give one or two guys a good opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoomEnabled\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-at-16-20-18-6828821.jpg?r=1774640756580\" alt=\"alan shearer\" title=\"alan shearer\" width=\"590\" height=\"937\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">Alan Shearer&#8217;s scratched arm <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Instagram\/@alanshearer)<\/span><span class=\"magnifier\" data-img=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-at-16-20-18-6828821.jpg?r=1774640756580\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoomEnabled\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-at-16-20-21-6828824.jpg?r=1774640756585\" alt=\"alan shearer\" title=\"alan shearer\" width=\"590\" height=\"953\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">Alan Shearer&#8217;s leg scar after crash <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Instagram\/@alanshearer)<\/span><span class=\"magnifier\" data-img=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/Screenshot-2026-03-27-at-16-20-21-6828824.jpg?r=1774640756585\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>\u201cI think he already has a big part of who he wants to get in his head, but there might just be one or two spots that he can push late.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Shearer also revealed his starting XI for this summer&#8217;s North American competition, surprisingly leaving out the likes of Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>His selections are: Jordan Pickford, Reece James, Mark Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Lewis Hall, Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson, Morgan Rodgers, Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Anthony Gordon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Shearer spoke about the Three Lions&#8217; chances of winning a trophy in the coming months, adding: &#8220;I believe England can win the World Cup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;If you look at our talent, you look at the players competing for places.
