But things took a worrying turn at the Swiss Tech Convention Centre.

Wright slipped and tumbled down the staircase - just weeks after undergoing surgery.

And he needed to be helped by World Cup legends Leonardo Bonucci and Sami Khedira.

As reported by the Daily Mail, it is understood Wright was given an ice pack and was not seriously injured in the fall.

Thankfully, he managed to board his flight back to Manchester as planned on Tuesday morning.

Wright had knee replacement surgery seven weeks ago.

That left him in a wheelchair as pal Roy Keane pushed him around the Stick To Football podcast studio.

Fellow star Jill Scott joked the pair resembled a duo from TV sketch show Little Britain.

But less than two months later, Wright managed to stand on his feet for long periods to present the Women's Euros draw.

Many in attendance were impressed by his stamina so soon after the major operation.

Bonucci and Khedira were joined by Jill Scott, Raphael Varane and Xherdan Shaqiri in Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva for the draw.

In it, defending champions England were pitted in the same group as debutants Wales as well as France and the Netherlands.
