Injuries 2024/25 | Ake & Bobb return to training

[northmr8]

Stones is made of glass. He was only on 2 mins!

He played 90 v Spurs didn't he?

Yeah you’re right. My mistake.

Stones is made of glass.

I bet he plays Tuesday night.

Just back from taking the dog for a walk, and we've gone from 9 injuries to 3 in the last hour.

A Xmas miracle?

Rodri, Bobb, Dias, Stones, Grealish, KDB and Savinho injured

Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Doku and Lewis not 100%… some nowhere near

I hope so. I really dislike the way it’s always John Boy who gets called out for injury when there are others as well.
I know folk will say it’s because he is my favourite and I’ll always support him but he puts in 110%.

At the risk of upsetting you (the last thing I would want to do) the problem with Stones is he can't stay fit for more than a handful of games before breaking down. He is a fantastic player when fully fit and back up to speed but that is becoming an increasingly rare scenario.

I've no idea what can be done about this as he just seems to be one of those unlucky players who can't stay match fit for any length of time.

Whose in charge of our fitness and medical set up ? Dr Crippin.

You’ve not upset me. I see exactly what you are saying and I’m probably a bit over protective and notice more when people say John Boy is injury prone.
He has been that way I guess just recently and I will just have to accept that everyone is right and I’ve got to stop being sensitive on his behalf!!
Sorry.



But boy I hope he’s back on Tuesday and the problem with his feet is just breaking in new boots!! ;-)

Let's hope so.

A foot problem for a footballer isn't great....

That’s the issue play him 90mins in a game that we wouldn’t be too bothered to loose is madness Now he’s not available for games that matter

Everyone loves Stones, the frustration comes from the fact he'd be the best defender in Europe if he could stay fit for a full season.

Can you imagine a Stones and Dias partnership for the whole season, with Gvardiol at left back? It would certainly go some way to making up for losing Rodri for the season.

The constant injuries are making the Rodri situation worse. We'd win the league without Rodri if we had a normal level of injuries, this feels unprecedented at the moment!

The Stones one just seems constant, and it's made worse because of what we'd have if he could stay fit.

As we know all too well from watching City in the 1990s.

 

[cleavers]

I've changed the title since not even Pep seems to know who is/who isn't.

Think the most games stones has played in premier is 24 he has always been injury prone

I don't think anyone disputes that Stones is a great player, but he doesn't play enough to get form and consistency into his game.

I think our best defence (if everyone was fit) would consist of Akanji, Stones, Dias and Gvardiol, but we're missing two of them now.

We regularly get caught on the counter by one long ball, so it's an area that needs addressing, even with 5 CBs.
CB partnerships grow. Sadly for Stones he's becoming the odd one out because he's missing so often. Ake likewise.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Maybe not, so let's call him a soccer player.

 

[Gordyola]

I wonder if Stones suffered the foot injury whilst playing for England during a tournament what he would have done? Just saying

 

[northmr8]

What's the long term solution for plantar fasciitis? Injections?

 

[plongo]

Except for England

 

[citytill1die84]

Didn't Ake go off injured?
