Nigel Reo-Coker has tried to laugh off his recent trip over a bike rack in downtown Vancouver.
The 29-year old English midfielder sustained a mild concussion and a gash on his face when he tripped when walking in Vancouver on Sunday, March 25.
The former Aston Villa and West Ham United man missed the 2-1 win over Houston Dynamo on the weekend but could return for Saturday night's home meeting with Colorado Rapids after returning to training this week.
Reo-Coker admitted sustaining the bang on his head wasn't ideal while saying he simply made a mistake in what has ended up being a fairly humorous situation.
"It was embarrassing," Reo-Coker told reportes after a training session. "But I've had worse.
"I should just be paying more attention to where I was going. Outside of football is my own personal time, and [it's] embarrassing, in a way slightly a funny story, but I've lived to tell the tale."
Reo-Coker added: "I had a little accident.
"I wasn't paying attention, went over a bike rack and smashed my head against the concrete, cement, and I had a serious gash in my head, and suffered a little concussion.
"That's exactly what happened.
"There's tests that have to be conducted and done. Today I'm outside, did some ball work, did non-contact stuff, and that's what it's going to be for the next three days.
"We'll see how I am at the end of the week."
