“There were no injuries on set, however one crew member outside the stage has sustained a minor injury,” the statement continued.
This isn’t the first onset injury for the 007 spy film, which is slated for release in 2020. In May, it was revealedCraig would undergo ankle surgeryafter he was injured on set while filming in Jamaica.

“It wasn’t an essential operation but if I don’t do it now, I could do something on the next movie and rip it out of its socket,” he said. “It’s just a pain in the ass, really, and it’ll be a long wait before it heals properly.”
Craig also sprained his knee on the set ofSpectreduring the filming of a fight scene in London, according toThe Guardian.He lucked out, however, as it was a minor injury and filming resumed within a few days.
