It's possible they are getting rushed back before they are fully fit.

Small squad, several aging and/or injury prone players, playing twice a week with a record number of fixtures after a summer with international football. All it takes is a few injuries and there was always a high risk of an injury crisis since it's no room to rest or recover for the remaining players, leading to even more injuries. Having a small squad has its advantages like it's easy to keep most happy, but it comes with a calculated risk this could happen.

Something isn’t right here. One or two players I get.
theres no reason that Harwood Bellis couldn’t have done a job this season. We knew Stones and Ake are injury prone. Dias and Akanji getting older. Baffling why we just let these kids go when they could provide cover and play cup games, letting injury prone, older players rest.Hate the victims but one thing theyre not afraid of is to throw a kid in. When needed.

The fact people can’t grasp this is incredible… our players have probably played more games than 95% of players in world football over the last 4 years and people are shocked they’re suddenly getting injured with only 4 weeks rest per year and more and more games each year…Doubt anythings changed from years of a good injury record. Just years of too many games, no proper summer rest or pre season. No surprise really.

Fingers crossed the rest of the squad get through Christmas Day without injury...I don't know what it says, but what I do know is something cannot be right, virtually every week one goes down, and the weird thing is we've not had a game this midweek, mad as fuck.

Not sure it does, given it didn’t happen in training.

What does getting injured after playing 4x 90 mins after coming off the back of an injury have to do with training?wtf are we doing in training. This is madness.

Knee jerk reactions of people looking for someone to blame without thinking.The fact people can’t grasp this is incredible… our players have probably played more games than 95% of players in world football over the last 4 years and people are shocked they’re suddenly getting injured with only 4 weeks rest per year…

Thing is these players know they are good enough to get in other PL teams and want to play, you cant blame them for wanting that over hanging around at City waiting for enough injuries before Pep picks them !
Just a total brainfart, yes the small squad wasn't a problem in previous seasons but they should've seen it coming when the CL was expanded and with the Club World cup coming, you didn't to be nostradamus.At this rate that 10-12 points we need is looking more and more challenging! Bloody hell, poor Pep. This small squad is coming back to bite us big time!

Oh we'll miss him big time, Akanji ain't as good and not fit anyway, and Stones will be out soon again, you know he will. our defence is just fucked this season.Just can't get a squad together, can we?
Hopefully we don't miss him much now Akanji and Stones are back.
Don't be suprised if one or both of them go off injured tomorrowJust can't get a squad together, can we?
Hopefully we don't miss him much now Akanji and Stones are back.
