A team cannot lie about what an injury is. Yes they hem and haw. And yes they smudge the truth but they cannot say he has X injury when he actually has Y. It was reported that he had a subluxation of the shoulder. Many people did research and even some experts weighed and said it was not a serious injury as long as they rested it and gave him time to heal. As I mentioned in another thread he can lift heavy objects over his head repeatedly. The shoulder is ok. Maybe he doesn't play this week as a precaution but this low hum of "he wont play for weeks" that has been hanging around here is simply wrong.
