Chelsea star Mason Mount shares hilarious video after dental surgery

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has shared a hilarious video with fans after having wisdom teeth removed, joking: "I must be half-great white, the size of them gnashers!"

Mount has been delayed in joining up with the England squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino after undergoing dental surgery, and is a doubt for Friday's game against the former at Wembley.

Prior to the international break, Mount missed two matches for Chelsea and was an unused substitute on his return against Burnley last weekened, but has now taken the opportunity to get the issue resolved.

In a video shared across social media, titled 'Wisdom teeth have left the group chat', Mount is travelling in the back of a car and clearly still suffering from the effects of anasthetic.

"I can't feel my face," he says. "If I got punched right now I wouldn't even feel it.

"I reckon I'm half-human, half-great white, wtih the size of these gnashers," he adds, holding up a box containing the removed teeth, before suggesting the idea of auctioning them off for charity.

"People would pay big money for them!"
