Alonso nursing minor leg injury

(GMM) Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso is nursing a minor muscle injury, it emerged from the 'Wroom' media event on Tuesday.

When his 2011 teammate Felipe Massa began skiing at the Madonna di Campiglio resort, Spaniard Alonso simply posed for photographers at the top of the slope.

Spanish media reports reveal that the 2010 championship runner-up is suffering from a minor muscle lesion in his right leg.

"Sitting on the couch," Alonso told La Nueva Espana when asked what it will take for the injury to heal.

In fact, even though the 29-year-old has set aside his racing bicycle for now, the reports insist Alonso has still been working in the gym.
