Who does our medicals???

We took a risk. As we did with Roque Santa Cruz, Rodwell, Jovetic, etc. Sometimes things just don’t work out as well as it obviously has with Gundogan.

I sincerely hope things work out with Phillips, as well. But I am trying to provide context as to why this latest shoulder injury is more concerning than merely a random knock in a friendly.

And i still maintain that Gundo have a way worse injury history than Philips, i thought he wouldn't last a season back then when we bought him from dortmund and hearing his career ending injury news.

I thought moving him into more physical league is very bad idea and yet he mostly fine and become an important player for our team for many seasons.

We don't know what future lies for Philips but i hope it will be leaning into Gundo cases rather than what you mentioned above.

It’s not his entire injury history, it’s his shoulder injury history.

This would be his fourth shoulder injury in as many years and this one was under very little contact, which is indicative of weakness after repeated injury and surgery.

A mate of mine actually has a similar issue — after several dislocations and surgery meant to correct the issue a few years ago, he now has to be very careful, as he can pop his arm out of socket doing fairly mundane things. He actually just dislocated it the other day mowing his lawn.

It's probably why there's a buy back for Lavia too.

And no guarantee it will actually fix the underlying issues, as my mate (see above) can attest to, unfortunately.

Kalvin Phillips: Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa not ruling out shoulder surgery for midfielder

England international Kalvin Phillips has been battling a shoulder problem since the end of last season; Leeds midfielders timeframe for return from a hamstring injury sustained against Brentford is unclear, with Liam Cooper and Patrick Bamford also out with similar injuries

Yep,I was speaking from personal experience myself.

That's one very expensive risk

That's one very expensive risk

£40m here and potentially £40m if we bring back Lavia

Has he learned to use his other hand then?

:)

You don't need the whole arm for that, just the wrist and a loosely clenched fist

Unlucky with injuries at the moment , he needs a couple of injury free games to get his season started , just hope he doesnt become another John Stones who has never been able to stay injury free , always a niggling injury just around the corner.

Kalvin Rodwell is gonna take up a lot of our medical staffs time, I feel.
