Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is in hospital with “possibly life-changing” injuries after crashing his BMW motorcycle today. The 36-year-old hit a car at about 10.30am in east London and was taken to hospital with fractured wrists.

"Carlo Cudicini has fractured his wrists and injured his pelvis," a club statement said.

"He 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."

Police were called to a collision between a BMW motorcycle and a Ford Fiesta in Walthamstow.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said Cudicini's injuries could be "life-changing".

Cudicini, who was with Chelsea for 10 years, arrived at Tottenham 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 keeper Heurelho Gomes.
