Fighting Robin is injured!

robin ~ erithacus rubecula (feeding)
RSPB Green status list.
Our local resident robin is not a bully and we have seen him happily tolerate up to six visiting robins on the birdtable and ground feeding in freezing weather. However robins started coming in for food with the constant rain and our robin has been fighting them all off. This robin had an obvious leg injury but his wing looked as though he had just lost a few feathers. Anyway he finished eating the food he came for and then disappeared into the hedge.
UPDATE: It is now a few weeks since this robin was injured and he seems to be fit and well apart from his leg that now seems useless. He spent more time perching on one leg. He couldn't manage to perch on the feeder trays so he fed on the ground.
