The injury ended up getting written into the show by saying Joey fell off the bed.
The cast revealed how they used to all huddle in the corridor outside the apartment before the cameras started rolling.
However, on this one particular episode, they were forced to skip it - and Matt LeBlanc ended up with the injury.
Matt said: "There was one thing that we did every show that we didn't do that night before we started. We didn't do it that night."
Courteney Cox, who played Monica Gellar, said: "The huddle?"
Matt replied: "That's the one time we didn't do it."
Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay) explained why they didn't do the huddle: "We were sort of like, 'We're taking too long, the audience has been waiting - let's just go.'"
She added: "It was sort of early on and then, after that, we'd be like, 'Do we need to do the huddle, and [Matt LeBlanc] would be like, 'Yeah, 'cause I don't want anything else falling off.'"
