comment on the article

"Royals' boss Steve Coppell told the Evening Post: "Leroy is in a great deal of pain. He woke up and stretched while in bed and he has done something to his leg."

Hmm, who else thinks it wasn't an innocent "stretch" in bed that did his leg?

Coppell manages to contradict himself in one interview.

1. "It's a point of laughter."

2. "It is not an injury that should be ridiculed or made light of."

doh

I've done one of those, played football, chosen to not run down the energy still stored in my muscles, wake up next morning, shift one leg and wham! Major muscle cramp that just wont quit as you aim to get ready to go out.

I suspect, as a number of other comments seem to do, that this was more than simply getting up and then there's a leg strain in the muscle. Leroy is not saying much but he will stick to that.

Title of article reporting it said "Lita sidelined after freak injury". I thought he snapped his leg or dislocated his ankle or something awful and feared the worst.
