Injuries 2024/25 | Dias ruled out for a month

Ric said:
I have an outlandish theory, which is probably almost certainly not true, that the injuries to Dias, Stones and Ake are actually relatively minor. They could have played in the last few games if they really had to, but Pep decided not to so they could pull out of international duty. He’ll use the next two weeks to work on a new defensive system for the rest of the season in training to mitigate the loss of Rodri, and we’ll see all three appear against Spurs. Wishful thinking, I know.

I totally agree with you and said this to another City fan the other day and he agreed.
I personally would love it if they were all given at least 4 or 5 days with no football, no training, just team building type meetings. Let them all relax, regroup and build their energy back up ready to get back in there on the 23rd to show everyone we are not in crisis we are thriving again. JMHO

I have compiled a table of minutes played this season. I thought it might be interesting.
If you find a mistake, please forgive me, I'm only human.

Kin'ell, sunshine.
Brilliant, but....
Go out and have a nice walk; a meal; a drink; a shag; (a wank if you can't find anyone to shag); read a book; find a good film on the telly; enjoy life!!!

Did Jack not get the message ?
 
I'm not expecting sympathy from the media but perhaps an acknowledgement that our current injury situation is pretty dire and leaves the Manager with few options

Compare this with the BBC's report of "injury ravaged" and "understrength" Liverpool winning the Carabao Cup Final last season

Salah Nunes and Jota were all out, but our entire defence from the CL Final Starting XI are all injured plus Rodri and Grealish are all out

All we're asking for is a little balance
