Premier League - Cudicini 'seriously hurt' in bike crash
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident.
The Italian broke both wrists and injured his pelvis after his BMW motorbike collided with a Ford Fiesta in Walthamstow at 10.30am on Thursday.
Cudicini was taken to hospital in an ambulance, while an air ambulance was flown in but not used.
The female driver of the car and her passenger were reported to have escaped serious injury and did not need hospital treatment.
A Tottenham statement 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 arrived at Tottenham from London rivals Chelsea on a free transfer in January but has spent most of his time at White Hart Lane on the bench after failing to dislodge first-choice Heurelho Gomes.
