With all the hype about Jamie Vardy this weekend. He puts great store with the Cryoaction Cryotherapy recovery chamber they have at Leicester City.

Does anyone know if we have such facilities at the club? I remember seeing a photo last season with the players sharing a big plastic tub outside with ice cubes in.
If we don't have such a facility it may help with our injury situation.

Edit I have just found our facilities with the help of google and old MEN article:

Didn't I read somewhere that Vincent Kompany gets into an ice bath at half time and full time? I may be imagining it as I tend to go into a Victorian lady swoon at the thought of VK!!

(I'm old not dead!!!!!!!!!!)
 
A few years ago, everyone was using it to get an edge but I've seen some reports suggesting it's not as effective as claimed. I don't know the science but I am aware of claims and counter-claims.

Probably many other papers. Abstracts should give a summary through Google scholar.

Kun was inside a space ship lately,maybe we need to bring in some alien technology from area 51.
 
You thought Leicester would have better facilities than us?
They certainly are doing better than us on the injury front. None of their players have any muscle or soft tissue injuries. In fact they have just one player out injured, with an ACL.
We must be near the top of the PL table for hamstring and soft tissue injuries this season.
