Ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon left battered and bruised after shock accident in Romania

Neil Lennon was bruised and battered after suffering a bicycle accident in Romania, Rapid Bucharest president Viorel Moldovan has revealed.

But the former Celtic boss will still be able to take charge of his team for tonight's clash with Cluj.

Lennon guided his new side to a draw in his first competitive game as manager last week in a league clash at UTA Arad.

However, he suffered an unfortunate mishap during the week, according to the club president.

Moldovan said: "Neil Lennon suffered a bicycle accident while cycling around Herastrau Park.

"I was scared when I saw him in training. He fell off his bike. I understand he hit a curb. He has a bruised nose, shins and knees.

"Did you watch him as a midfielder? I thought the accident was much more serious after seeing him. It's good that he didn't break anything - he's solid!"

Lennon was a surprise appointment to the Romanian fallen giants, who haven't won their title for 22 years.
