A sprain - The medial collateral ligament is on the inner side of your knee and is tight when your leg is straight. It's a strong ligament but can be sprained or completely ruptured (torn) if you twist your straightened leg at the same time as being knocked sideways, for example, when being tackled in Rugby.
