Reading striker Leroy Lita will miss the start of the Premier League season after apparently injuring himself by stretching in bed. The 22-year-old claims he sustained the nerve problem by enjoying a nice stretch when he woke up. Pull the other one, Leroy (that’s an incredulous outbust rather than my suggestion of how he injured himself, I think!).
His boss Steve Coppell seems as doubtful as us that the injury was picked up as innocently as Lita reckons. He said: “Leroy is in a great deal of pain. It’s a point of laughter but a serious business for him because he’s going to be out for three or four weeks.”
Come on then, Pies fans. Let’s hear your theories. The truth is out there.
