Well not his exact words but this is what he did say -
Mark Davies has been sent for scans to get to the bottom of a troublesome hamstring injury.
The Wanderers play-maker missed Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Chelsea after the problem flared up again in training at the end of last week.
Owen Coyle believes the injury has hampered the 24-year-old’s form during February and ordered him to seek medical advice in order to get back up to full fitness.
“The hamstring has been bothering him for the last three or four weeks, so we sent him for a scan to make sure we stayed on top of it,” the Wanderers boss said.
“It isn’t that his hamstring has gone or anything but he has felt it for about two or three weeks.
“Truth be told, he hasn’t been at this best during that time either.
“He can get through games but we need Mark Davies driving past people like he was prior to the problem and that’s why we have to make sure he’s available and 100 per cent.”
