Monster Energy Yamaha’s Zach Osborne has injured himself training in England last week, just two weeks before the FIM Motocross World Championship season opener.

Osborne went down and suffered a fracture to his left collarbone, concussion and a possible crack in his right wrist.

ā€œIā€™m pretty banged up but it could be worse, I think the collarbone could be more complicated because the x-ray showed a crack near where I have a plate,” said Osborne.

“We should know some more information after another scan later.ā€

The American MX2 contender will be heading to a specialist in southern England for further examination, stay tuned to MotoOnline.com.au for more information on Osborne’s condition.
