The Arsenal icon was in Switzerland on Monday to help host the Women's Euros draw.

Ian Wright reportedly needed medical assistance after falling down some stars following his stint co-hosting the Women's Euros draw on Monday evening.

International stars Leonardo Bonucci and Sami Khedira reportedly rushed to Wright's aid after the nasty fall.


Wright only had a knee operation seven weeks ago, which left him in a wheelchair.

The fresh incident occurred as Wright had finished the draw for the Women's Euros on Monday night at the Swiss Tech Convention Centre in Lausanne.

Wright is said to have fallen down some stairs that left some 'onlookers concerned', according to the Daily Mail.

Paramedics were quick to react to the fall with Wright given an ice pack.

Fortunately, Wright is understood not to have sustained any serious injury from the incident.

He was able to board his scheduled flight from Switzerland to Manchester on Tuesday morning.

Wright raised concerns in October when he turned up to the latest episode of the 'Stick to Football' podcast in a wheelchair.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane wheeled in the 61-year-old before taking his place alongside Jill Scott, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.

Wright revealed he needed to use the wheelchair as he was recovering from a knee replacement surgery.

He posted a short clip on his official Tiktok account in the wheelchair being pushed by Keane behind the scenes of the podcast, jokingly saying: "I don't want him to push me."

Wright showed his funny side by also posting another short clip of him using the wheelchair on his own.

The former Gunners striker wheeled into shot with 'On bended knee' by Boyz II Men playing over the top of the clip.

He said: "That's what I mean. I've done my knee but I'm doing fitness!"
