It could be worse:

If you move to California the last thing you expect to suffer from is frostbite - but try telling that to NFL star Antonio Brown.

The Oakland Raiders wide receiver has been missing from training in recent weeks with a mysterious foot injury.

NFL.com cite sources that say Brown is suffering from extreme frostbite caused by entering a cryotherapy chamber without wearing proper footwear.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden said he is "gathering information" about the injury but could not say when Brown would return to action.

Whole body cryotherapy is a treatment that involves exposure to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes with the hope of aiding muscle repair and speeding up recovery from injury.

Individuals using a cryotherapy chamber wear minimal clothing but the feet, hands, ears, mouth and nose need to be covered to minimise the risk of a cold-related injury.

Someone will suffer from a detached retina, a boil on hand, do a hammy while rehabbing a torn calf and then be suspended for betting. Sounds unlikely!

If it were to be anyone, knowing our luck it would be Grundy, the strain his back must be under from carrying this team each week must be nearing breaking point.

Daicos. And possibly Sidebottom.

Daicos we can do without. Sidebottom - if true - is a stab to the heart.

Sidebottom was interviewed after the game. He said he got knock to his leg, which momentarily sent pins and needles down to his ankle, making it numb, such that he couldn't stand up. He said that after a minute had passed he was fine. Thank Christ for that.

Did Maynard get through unscathed? He was limping for a bit in the last after getting up from a contest - looked like his ankle from the stands?
