Kate Middleton was seen almost crashing into a post after getting completely absorbed in a game of wheelchair rugby during a visit to the Allam Sports Centre in Hull today.

The Princess of Wales, 41, ditched the smart suits as she opted for a tracksuit and headed to meet Disability Rugby League players in East Yorkshire, where she joined a training session with the World Cup winning England wheelchair rugby squad.

And the royal had a bandage on her hand three weeks after injuring herself playing on the trampoline with her children. Speaking before heading on the court, the Princess told a team member: 'I'm worried about my finger, but willing to try.'

She certainly gave it her all, getting so caught up in the action during a match, that she almost crashed into one of the posts, putting her arms out to brace herself from the impact.

The bandages appear to be a precaution from her injury earlier this month - when she damaged her fingers trampolining with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at their home in Windsor.
