Spence's Secret Wrist Bandage: Superstition or Mystery?
19 Jul
Summary
- Djed Spence wears a wrist bandage, a rumored superstition.
- He previously wore a mask to cover a broken jaw injury.
- The jaw injury occurred during a match against Chelsea.
Djed Spence, a popular figure for England, is currently drawing attention for wearing a bandage on his wrist during the World Cup.
When questioned by a young fan, Spence playfully stated it was a secret, suggesting it's a personal superstition rather than an injury.
This follows his previous use of a protective mask during the tournament. The mask was necessary because Spence suffered a broken jaw. He sustained this injury in the final stages of Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on May 19, when he was elbowed in the face.
Medical checks confirmed the broken jaw. Spence noted the mask was uncomfortable and that his jaw would take approximately three months to fully heal. He indicated the injury was painful but manageable for his football career.
