According to the table, we have no-one currently injured; top of the table are United with 7 injured players, and Spurs and Arsenal with 6 each.
Indeed. After reading some of the criticism that was made over alleged fitness levels after the CS, I half expected to read that the players spent training sat in deck chairs reading the papers.
I did wonder whether the current training regime still reflects an element of preparing for a long season rather than just the next match.
