Injuries.

Absolutely unbelievable all these injuries, you could field an entire xi from the list.

There's some bollocks about our unbelievable injury situation
It's gone on since Pellegrini arrived. I don't know what's going on but it seems unreal to me. We have and had expensive players who barely play all season. What's going on?

Jovetic has featured in all six of Inter's matches.

is injured now though

 

[Marvin]

Conjecture, but this Summer we had a ridiculous amount of travel: much much more than anyone else. And that is the foundation for the players fitness.

Could just be bad luck. Difficult to tell

Our injury record over the last few seasons has been awful.

Players come to us having fairly clean injury records and end up on our sick bed within months of being here.

Does the problems lie with or medical team or our training?

I don't like how so many of these are musuclar problems. That's symptomatic of poor training or medical care, but it could still be just bad luck. We'll see how the season unfolds.

Mangala...."unknown". Does that mean no one knows what his injury he's got or it's just not being made public. If I was Pellegrini I wouldn't say who was definitely out. Keep the opposition guessing. Use a few "could play" and "maybe fit, we'll see" at the presser and don't give them the heads up.

A range of factors but we haven't had a full squad to choose from for any length of time for a number of years now.

It's unacceptable for a club with our resources.

It has to rectified otherwise we will continue to underachieve.

Rodwell and Jovetic had reputations before they came.

I don't think we had any major injury problems in the previous seasons. Chelsea fared well, but we just had an average season in terms of injuries. This season looks very bad, but they could clear up. Every season you usually get a period when you have problems. Maybe this is just it

Last season we had key players out each week Marvin and upon return some of them would play a few games and have another spell on the sidelines.

Once again our captain plays the first 5 games and now is out until after the international break after declaring his last injury was nothing to be concerned about.

When you take into consideration that most players we have unfortunately take a couple of games to get back to what we expect of them each week its a poor set of circumstances we continue to find ourself in and quite frankly you have to ask questions about the way we train and the way we manage our players on a weekly basis.

To be honest if I had the choice you would prefer one or two to be out long term and the rest always available for the sake of stability.

Having a squad of 22 is not nearly enough for four competitions if 5-10 players are unavailable most of the time.

Its apparent under the current regime we will never get our spine to be available for any length of time if at all.
