Jamaican track legend Usain Bolt suffered a serious Achilles injury at a charity soccer match in London over the weekend, forcing him to be stretchered off the field. The injury is a major setback for Bolt, who has been retired from professional athletics for several years.

Bolt, 37, revealed Sunday that he suffered a ruptured Achilles during the Soccer Aid charity game. Photos showed the track legend competing in the match and then being taken off of the pitch.

Bolt was on the Soccer Aid World XI FC side along with Eden Hazard, Tommy Fury, and others. The squad went up against the English All-Stars. Bolt played in the match last year and scored a goal.

The English team came out on top with a 6-3 victory. Joe Cole, Ellen White, Steven Bartlett, Jermain Defoe, and Theo Walcott scored for the squad. Hazard, Alessandro Del Piero, and Billy Wingrove scored for the Soccer Aid World FC side.

The charity raised more than $19 million for UNICEF.

Bolt is going on eight years removed from his final Olympic gold medal. He owns world records in the 100-meter (9.58) and 200-meter (19.19) races. He wrapped up his Olympic career with eight gold medals. He also had 11 gold medals in the World Championships.

In 2018, Bolt started to train with the Central Coast Mariners soccer club of Australia's A-League. He scored two goals against an amateur club in a friendly. He left the club in January 2019 and declared his professional sporting career to be finished.

Bolt's Achilles injury is a major setback for the Jamaican track legend. The injury could potentially end his hopes of returning to competitive soccer.

Bolt has not yet commented on the severity of his injury or whether it will require surgery. However, the injury is likely to keep him out of action for several months.

The injury is a reminder of the risks that athletes face when they play competitive sports. Even retired athletes are not immune to injury.

Bolt's injury is a major loss for the Soccer Aid charity game. The event raises money for UNICEF, a charity that provides aid to children around the world.

Bolt's injury is also a reminder of the importance of staying active and fit. Even if you are not a professional athlete, you can still enjoy the benefits of exercise.

Regular exercise can help to improve your overall health and well-being. It can also help to reduce your risk of injury.

If you are new to exercise, start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts over time. Be sure to listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain.

There are many different types of exercise that you can choose from. Find an activity that you enjoy and stick with it.

Even small amounts of exercise can make a big difference in your overall health and well-being.
