So Leroy Lita has, apparently, pulled a muscle by stretching in bed while waking. (No typo in that last word).
A comical injury? No doubt. But earnest Steve Coppell, the man who's darker than a pint of Guinness in a tunnel, is, true-to-form, taking it as seriously as a brain tumour.
"I knew this would be a point of ridicule," Coppell told Sky Sports News. "It was stupid it come out really [are we talking about waking again? - Footblog]. From what I've been led to believe he got injured just stretching in the morning. It's a point of laughter, but it's a serious business for him. He's going to be out for three or four weeks, or whatever it is. It is a legitimate injury caused in a way which, ordinarily, wouldn't affect anybody in the population anywhere, but he's been massively unlucky."
Christ on a stick...
