Former Nottingham Forest star Jermaine Jenas almost missed the UEFA Cup clash in Basel last night, following a freakish injury... whilst going to the toilet minutes before the pre-match warm-up and coming back "injured".
Apparently, the England ace suffered from a trapped a disc while visiting the toilet minutes before the warm-up for the clash - which Newcastle eventually won 3-2.
Speaking after the game, Robson said: "We put ice on it and manipulated it and then sent him outside to try it out a bit better.
"But with 40 minutes to go before kick-off, he was out of the team.
"He'd tweaked some sort of disc in the back, from what I gather, but we put ice on it and he went out and played."
