JOSH ECCLES has opened up on the “freak” injury that has left him with an extra 10cm bit of bone in his left leg.

The Coventry midfielder made his long-awaited return to first team action at Leicester last weekend when he came on as a second-half substitute, bringing an end to almost four months of frustration.

“It was such a bizarre and freak injury’ said the homegrown Sky Blues player.

“It happened at Sunderland in the second leg of the playoffs when I managed to get a dead leg twice in the same place within five minutes of each other, which obviously forced me to go off.
