Injuries 2024/25 | Ake & Bobb return to training

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Walker defo, cant see us taking that much of a hit on a jack

Jack is also very close to his sister so unless she was to move to Saudi with him there may be nothing in this, but stranger things happen.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Yep, he’s a fanny.

3rd career ending injury he's had this season so far that hasn't kept him out for the next match

 

[Mr. Shush]

Wild assumptions being made here based based off absolutely nothing.

To me, all Pep is saying there is he appreciates the players who are pushing themselves to be available for him in a period where options are limited, that doesn't necessarily mean there's players who aren't doing that or he's having a dig at anybody currently unavailable.

I think you're probably right. But I think Pep is frustrated. Perhaps not at the players personally. But at the injuries and why the "healing process" isn't happening faster. As a coach, it can be frustrating. Coaches always want options. More than they probably need but they always want options. Right now Pep has few to none.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

I heard a physio who once said it was the worst job at the club because he was always the one saying the players weren't ready. Must be a nightmare knowing the players aren't ready to play but the manager needs them.

Undoubtedly will be, as would anybody with a lengthy injury list but have to remember Pep asked for a small squad. we had space within the squad, the money and at least in my opinion, the need to bolster the squad in the summer and we chose not to with Pep saying he prefers smaller squads and that seemingly being the only legit reason why we didnt do more business then, so this is the result of what he wanted.

People reading too much into this? Or hinting at players not playing when he/club think they could be?

Definitely reading something that’s not there!!! My god, some of our fans are right drama queens who love a conspiracy theory

 

[fuskarn]

there is absolutely no way he should be playing for brazil

 

[johnny crossan]

The linesman was most concerned, told him not to take the corner as I recall.

 

[youngbob]

Seemed pretty obvious that the tackle came in on Savinho's ankle, but he didn't really feel much because of adrenaline. He went over to take the corner and felt the pain. Then when he looked down at his ankles one was bigger than the other so he went off so as to not make it worse. Fair enough imo.

 

[City Raider]

Apologies if it's been mentioned but what is KDB's injury? Seems like he's been out that long that I've forgotten.

Don’t think he’s played since the Inter game. I remember him getting treatment on sideline in first half around groin/abductor area. He played on but didnt come out for 2nd half

 

[wolviedinho]

I hope players ain’t pretending to be injured longer than they are to get a break from football.

I’m not saying it’s happening but they have been out vocal about it recently.

They might not like the amount of games and most of us probably agree with them but pretending not to be fit to get a rest!

Not havin that.

all hand on deck and if you don’t agree, seek a move away.

 

[WestGorton]

I am left back on Saturday. Eddie is centre half with Ortega in nets.

 

[cleavers]

I have no idea what's going on, I hope a lot of hot air to be honest, but this is the most 'uncomfortable' feeling the manager/squad have given outwardly in some years.

We've lost once all season, in a game we didn't really care much about, which for long periods we were the better team anyway, a game we gave some youngsters some game time, and mostly impressed for me. We're top of the PL, in good shape in the CL.

We have a few injuries, not unusual (and so do others).

'Uncomfortable' for our serial flappers, I'm quite happy to see how it goes.

Precisely.

Finally a left back ;)

Its a long time since I seen a city team so much out of its depth as we were at Spurs. I know we were happy to get out of that cup but it don't bode well if further injuries strike. I think we were complacent in the transfer window, not replacing Alverez was shocking really.

"Out of it's depth" haha, I've no idea what you watched, I thought we played better than against Southampton, but they're a better team.

I missed much of the first 20 minutes, but from when I got it back, we looked the better team to me.

We had more shots than them, way more possession, but our finishing wasn't (rarely is) as good as it should be.

Spurs finishing was shocking else we would of been put to bed good style. As for our attack Foden on his jaxy was never the answer.

Aren’t he famous for “loving” a small squad? The injuries were already pretty bad last year and he, the IQ200, should have foreseen this and have done something during the summer.

 

[cleavers]

We had 4 more shots than they did, as usual not enough on target, theirs (mostly Werner) wasn't great either.

Foden was poor I agree, so was Gundogan, Bernardo not great when he came on either, I didn't really have much wrong with anyone else, other than McAtee who was anonymous.
