Last month Kem admitted he came close to pulling out of the matching after tearing his hamstring during training.

He told The Sun: 'I was pushing myself too hard and one day I heard it pop and I was in agony. It happened about three weeks before the game. 

'It started bruising up straight away so I knew it was bad. The next day I saw the physio and he said I'd torn it.

His reality star pal, Mark Wright, reportedly suffered a similar fate in 2019 when he tore his hamstring.
