Any idea how bad that injury is? Knowing our luck it's a bad one...

[MattyRangers]

Grade 1 or 2 hammy tear I think I saw on Twitter. God knows what that means to us non-medical folk.

[Bluehoop]

Grade 1 will be 4 to 6 weeks.

hamstring injurys are graded 1 to 3. Three being the most severe and can lead to a few months on the sideline grade one injurys usually take 10-12 days to heal.
