Injury from run in European country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprain

'injury' is the definition.
(sprain is a kind of injury)

'run in european country' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'european country' becomes 'spain' (Spain is an example).
'r' going inside 'spain' is 'SPRAIN'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for sprain that I've seen before include "Wrench (a ligament) (P, not T)" , "Injure joint by wrenching it violently" , "unwelcome twist" , "Injury to ligaments" , "Turn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
