Injuries.

how many players out injured now,also is there something wrong with the warm ups I know shit happens but two matches in a row players injured in warm up....

 

[MeatHunterrr]

We are the new Arsenal at this rate in terms of Injures. List: Zabaleta, Kompany, Delph, Clichy, Silva, Mangala, Nasri...

And it's only six games in,you can have injuries anytime I understand that but so many early on in the season it's baffling...

 

[Champions2012!]

Does seem like something wrong

The media won't see it as a problem as we have fifty players in our squad, compared to everyone else's fifteen. Mounting up big time aren't they.

I've said it before but I hold the medical and fitness teams totally responsible. I asked a very experienced City supporting physio about this and he said we shouldn't be getting some of the injuries we have been, if we prepare properly and use the right footwear.

Obviously there are some injuries it's impossible to legislate for but we're getting far too many training and warm up injuries and we don't seem to be sorting them out properly.

So out of our squad so far this season there has only been 8 players who have stayed fit, 2 of whom are youth players & 2 more who are new signings & played less. This is just 6 games into the season & we're in a very heavy period of games. Pretty shocking record to be honest - needs to be looked at as it could easily kill off our season after such a promising start.

What's with the pink boots that Aguero and Sterling are currently wearing they can barely stand up straight without slipping over

 

[BLUEMATT23]

After only 6 games to.
Something fundamentally wrong with preparation and recurring injuries to the same players to is a worry.

Augero had a right sulk on today maybe it was the boots

Kun is injured n'all despite playing

 

[mancunial]

Do any of you guys know when any of them are due back

 

[We're not really here]

This is a major aspect that needs serious analysis and questions have to be asked.

Mp said he hoped zabba would be back by the end of the month,not heard about the others

 

[deano ou812]

How many is it out at the moment injured about 8 players,nearly an entire team staggering...

 

[cookster]

Amazing how few injuries the Chavs get to key players.

 

[The Goater]

Aguero was clearly not 100% as he lacked his usual movement. Also was the case when on for 7 minutes against Juve. Why do we play players when not 100%.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

To be fair a few of our players went away on the last International call up totally intact and their Countries sent them back broken, Silva and Delph definately.

I completely agree. The number of non-contact training/warm-up injuries we get is ridiculous and probably preventable. In the 2011/12 season, the doctor would insist on players getting adequate recovery time and wouldn't allow them to play if he wasn't happy they would come through it OK. But Mancini wasn't happy about that and sacked him. OK Aguero got kicked but I'm not convinced he was fully fit even before then.

Arsenal have been poor at injury/fitness management over the last few years but we're beginning to rival them. We need to sort this out.
