Liam Payne was reportedly injured during a practice session for an upcoming Soccer Aid charity match, which he rented out an entire football stadium for.

According to The Sun, the One Direction alum, who will captain England XI, contacted Billericay Town and requested that the 5,000-person capacity of New Lodge be used for a practice session on Wednesday.

Payne was seen leaving a practice session with a bleeding knee before facing off against Olympic legend Usain Bolt’s World XI in June.

A source spilt to the outlet, “Liam asked Greg on the off-chance him and some pals could use the pitch and Greg got the wheels in motion.

“He didn’t look too bad considering he has been telling people he’s nervous to be captaining England in such a big game.

“Him and his mates got stuck in and he was left with a bleeding knee but no lasting damage. Liam looked in good nick.”
