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."
