I thought cause he'd changed his diet, he wasn't going to get these type of injuries any more? Or is it now safe to say that this latest setback has proved that whole issue to be the total pile of shite it always was?
Unfortunately we are not close enough to know but logic would dictate that after not being 100% on Saturday, he shouldn't have played last night full stop.
That said, I still believe in some instances, the club also rush players back too soon, I think we have seen it with Aguero now several times, and certainly with Kompany in the past The amount of injuries we've already had in the first 8 weeks of this season, you wouldn't expect that in a year to be fair, but this stop / start nature with the likes of Nasri Kompany, Bony & Yaya ( one minute they are fit apparently, then the next game they are not even on the bench, or worse still pulling up in the bloody warm up, come on ? ) needs to be addressed by the club. Whoever is passing them off as "fit" is clearly inept.
I said it last year that if over the next 2/3 years we don't start seeing 3/4 of a season ( ideally a full season FFS ) out of Sergio, then we needed some serious back up. We didn't address it last summer ( mainly due to FFP I know ) but going into a season with 3 strikers, ( 2 of which we knew were injury prone - Sergio & Jovetic ) we did nothing - even bloody Dzeko then got injured. We finally signed Bony in January who then did what - oh yes, got injured playing for Ivory Coast.
We've passed it up again this summer, going into a season with only 2 proven strikers in Sergio & Bony, yes the youngsters may step up and possibly Sterling offers some type of cover, but it all seems very short sighted to me, the writings been on the wall for some time.
