Sam Thompson has made the difficult decision to withdraw from Soccer Aid just before the charity match at Old Trafford. The Made In Chelsea star sustained a torn calf during a fundraising run and will now serve as a coach instead of playing. Despite his injury, Thompson is excited to be part of the management team alongside other notable figures.

Thompson's withdrawal comes after a recent encounter with his ex-girlfriend's new partner, Louis Tomlinson, during training. Despite the relationship drama surrounding them, Thompson has assured that there are no hard feelings. The attention will now shift to their interactions off the pitch rather than on it.

Thompson is not the only celebrity to pull out of Soccer Aid, as Bear Grylls also had to withdraw due to a hamstring injury. Despite these setbacks, the event remains a significant one, raising funds for UNICEF and bringing together a mix of former pros and celebrities for an exciting match.
