Serena Williams 'injures foot again'

Serena Williams has revealed that she recently injured her foot and will be unable to play tennis during the upcoming season.

The athlete previously underwent surgery after stepping on glass at a German club last summer but recently began training again for an upcoming tournament, during which she hurt herself further.

"Yesterday I learned that I had tried too hard, and did too much too soon," she wrote on her official blog.

"After practising yesterday morning I felt discomfort in my foot and tests by my doctor revealed that I had unfortunately restrained it, as a result of over training."

Williams continued: "I am likely out for the year now... I feel completely heartbroken, and devastated, but knowing I will never be given more than I can handle I plan on coming back stronger and better."

Serena Williams, Common still together?

Serena Williams and Common are reportedly still together despite recent rumours that they had ended their relationship.

It had been reported that the tennis superstar and her musician boyfriend had parted ways because of their busy work schedules.

However, a source has told Gossip Cop that the speculation is untrue and the couple, who have been dating since 2008, are still together.

Williams is currently in Paris playing at the French Open while Common can be seen opposite Queen Latifah in the romantic comedy Just Wright.

Neither has commented on the reports.

A friend of the couple told Us Magazine: "They are two workaholics who couldn't see each other enough. Things happen."

Two weeks ago, Common told Ellen DeGeneres: "Serena and I have been close for about two years. It's been evolving."
