Injuries 2025/26 | Rodri back in “partial” training

How do you know prior attacks on his ankle by Palmer not cause some ankle issues which contributed to him getting a major injury later so not sure how you can come up with your conclusion.

Based on seeing thousands of tackles over the years, my belief reading up on the injury is that its an overuse injury and his bones weakened and it was happening at any point with a jump or even a minor coming together. The ref was shit and should have booked a couple of players early.
Anyone saying the ref was to blame for the Gvardiol injury is being a bit silly born out of frustration with another of our top players getting a long term injury.

We need a bigger quality squad to minimise these things, fans can blame this ref though if they want, its just based on fuck all.

The issue is Ake & Stones rarely being fit, we has Laporte unable to get a game, now he’d be unable to get a rest.
 
Stones, Kovacic, Ake, Ortega, Phillips, Trafford, Akanji, Bobb, Grealish, Savinho, and Bernardo will all be gone next season. A sizeable amount of players are injury-blitzed or at the tail end of their City days. That is not to say they're all bad or average or good. The reality is the squad balancing is worrying. Again.

That'll leave much space on the Danny Mills and Santa Cruz fitness benches.

So all players playing the same amount or more minutes as Gvardiol are on the verge of a broken leg with a jump ?, or coming together?
 
World Cup starts 11th June, so presumably squads need to be submitted a week or two before that? I’d say he has very little chance of playing in it as he’d have to be playing in May to prove fitness, maybe even April. By what others are saying on here that’s unlikely. Such a shame for the lad, seems like a genuinely decent bloke

No it was Malo Gusto… Check the ‘8 min highlights’ on website. Happened at 5m20s.

Totally innocuous challenge, our players carried on playing and lost possession, so it’s a bit rich slagging Chelsea off for playing on . Abusing the ref for not stopping play is laughable, sadly the majority of players are constantly feigning injury in the modern game.

Gutted for him and for Pep and the team. I have a feeling the medical team knew that he was playing too much hence the attempt at resting him at Sunderland. We were trying to save it for the Chelsea game. Of course there’s no way to know this, but possibly a combined stress and mechanical fracture.we’ll never know. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

On a sidenote, it’s even more disappointing to hear that he walked off the pitch with this serious injury to silence from the crowd.

Pep said he had a niggle for the Sunderland game nothing to do with a possible fracture

He was clapped off the pitch by the crowd to a standing ovation, he hardly walked, was supported by a physio on one side and by Reece James on the other, he couldn't put any weight on his right leg it was close to the touchline hence why a stretcher wasn't used

Where will Phillips have gone by next season? Either we pay him off or maybe loan him to a lower championship team with us paying his wages but we are stuck with him.

Nobody will buy Grealish either, it will probably be a loan with us paying vast majority of his wages.
 
Recovery Timeline and Return to Sport
Recovery is a multi-stage process, with timelines varying based on the fracture's severity, location, and the player's overall health.
  • Initial Healing (0-6 weeks): The leg will be non-weight-bearing, using crutches or a walker. The focus is on managing swelling, pain, and maintaining range of motion in the hip, knee, and ankle as appropriate.
  • Rehabilitation (3-6 months): Gradual introduction of weight-bearing and intensive physical therapy to restore muscle strength, flexibility, and balance.
  • Return to Play (6-12+ months): A structured, progressive return-to-sport program is initiated. This involves sport-specific drills, running, jumping, and cutting movements to build up tolerance and confidence. The athlete will only return to full contact training and match play once X-rays confirm sufficient bone healing and the medical team is satisfied with their physical conditioning.

Key Factors for a Footballer
  • Surgery is standard: For a displaced or unstable fracture, surgery is the gold standard for professional athletes, as it facilitates faster and more predictable healing, optimizing the chances of a successful return.
  • High Return Rate: Statistics show that approximately 91.5% of athletes who suffer a tibial shaft fracture and undergo surgery return to sport, although only about 75% may return to their pre-injury level of performance.
  • Physiotherapy is Vital: A comprehensive and prolonged physiotherapy program is critical for the success of the surgery and the player's long-term function.
  • Risk of Complications: Potential complications include delayed healing, bone or wound infection, knee/ankle pain, and post-traumatic arthritis. Strict adherence to medical advice and rehabilitation protocols, including stopping smoking if applicable, is crucial to minimize these risks.

Chat gpt is the best doctor ;-)
 
Ait-Nouri worst signing since Philips.
I blame Oliver for allowing Chelsea to rough us up with no yellow cards. The fix is in for an Arsenal championship.
Hope Josko recovers soon.
