Tai Woffinden has been keeping fans updated on his condition after suffering multiple injuries in a crash in Poland in March

Three-time speedway world champion Tai Woffinden has revealed the full extent of the injuries he suffered in a serious crash in Poland last month.

The 34-year-old, from Scunthorpe, was airlifted to hospital and placed into a medically-induced coma after he collided with a team-mate on 30 March.

Woffinden said his injuries included a double break in his right leg, a broken back, broken shoulder, multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, fractured arm and extensive blood loss.

In a post on social media, he said it was "wild" to type the list out.
