Reading striker Leroy Lita has damaged a muscle in bed and
is a major doubt for this weekend's opener against Man Utd. Lita -
recently linked with Big Brother harpie Charley - was apparently
'stretching' in bed when he picked up the injury.
"Leroy is in a great deal of pain. He woke up and stretched while
in bed and he has done something to his leg," boss Steve Coppell
told the Reading Evening Post. "It is not an injury that should be
ridiculed or made light of."
"We don't know what happened exactly. It looks to be a problem with
a nerve. Maybe he has displaced one, but he could hardly walk
yesterday and had to sit out training. "It came on so dramatically
that we are just hoping it goes away as quickly."
