Injuries 2025/26 | Gvardiol tibia fracture (p59) Dias 4-6 weeks (p70)

Perrone is doing very well at Como, looks like another one that got away

Can’t believe this is happening. The one defensive position I thought we were well covered for.

There’s not much you can do when 3 players in the same position get long term injuries at the same time.

We’ve got 5 CBs for 2 positions. That’s usually enough.

We’ve got 3 CDMs, and we’ve not had 2 available at the same time very much either.

Lack of rotation is a problem that we’re suffering for, but when we have rotated, we’ve been rubbish. That’s partly recruitment, but partly a new, young team learning to play together.

It's football, when everyone's fit (stop laughing at the back) we have at least 3 CB's on the bench and 2 FB's add in a keeper and there's not much room left.

Another ref allowing the opposition to kick the shit out of us with impunity in the first 20 minutes against Brighton should see our PL challenge in the bin for this season.

Just checked the records... Michael Oliver refereed on Sunday (Gvardiol out with broken leg) AND City-Arsenal 2-2 when Rodri tore his ACL (and Arsenal had gone hard at him since the very first minute).

Obviously, just his style of refereeing :-(

 

[johnnytapia]

Eez football.

 

[hilts]

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.

Exactly with injuries to rodri Gvardiol kdb was often its a concern. Silva must be a special breed.

It's all seems a bit more 'strategic' to me almost like it's a 'plan' to ensure a new name on the trophy every few years?

 

[hilts]

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?

Yes all players are exactly the same, pillock.

 

[levets]

Is there any news on Aït Nouri? I thought I read he got injured as well?

Severe bout of Influenza I read

All people do on this forum is complain about Reijnders not being up to the speed of the PL so I'm not sure what makes you think Perrone would be.

 

[levets]

Unless Rodri stands in as CB of course

He’s played there for Spain on a few occasions, though I’d cringe at every tackle.

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Severe bout of Influenza I read

have they flu him home?

 

[asahartford1]

Thanks Doc.

 

[levets]

Ok mate, but Palmer was still a sly **** throughout the game

Yes he was. He was diving into to Snidey challenges in front of us (East Stand) in first half.

 

[Marvin.]

Aït-Nouri has started for Algeria.

 

[Roachy]

It's all seems a bit more 'strategic' to me almost like it's a 'plan' to ensure a new name on the trophy every few years?

Preferably a team that plays in red as well.

 

[meeesh]

Yea I would as well to be fair

 

[levets]

Is lack of rotation playing a part in this? Apart from cup games, we often don’t change the side or our ‘main’ players when fit always start.

But we saw ‘rotation’ against Leverkusen… our fringe players are not up to the required levels, certainly not en masse

5 CBS I get. Stones, Ake, Dias, Khusanov, Gvardiol. But to be fair we knew before the season started that 2 of them were sick notes. Throw in Pep being cautious with Khusa it meant obviously the two who are now injured have been overplayed.
3 cdms. Rodri, Nico G and who?

Manchester City were the pioneers of the DEXA scan for elite footballers.
It is installed at the Academy medical facility, space age, World class.

All players are regularly monitored, for bone density.
