Injuries

Wasn't there a big hoo har about the old boy they used at Bayern and pep trying to change things ?

I think he fired some of them a few months ago

He got rid of Muller-Wolfheart, but weirdly most of the Bayern players still choose to see him privately, so he basically has no control over the medical care at Bayern.

I suspect when he comes here we will be more likely to give him everything and hopefully get the kind of record Barcelona had with injuries while he was there. Xavi, Messi, Busquets and Iniesta barely missed a game in 4 years.
 
Ok have a go at the medical .
But it's not all down to the medical staff .
I see it week after week our players don't get enough protection from the referees .
Another clown refereed us again today .
Aguero got clattered but no yellow card from Taylor .
He played advantage when we had no attacker. . Ha ha ha Taylor .

Every team gets match injuries and that's understandable in a contact sport like this, but the majority of our injuries come in training which is of bafflement to supporters, especially when those injuries then stretch out from the odd game out to multiple months of inactivity. Added to this, there are match injuries which don't arise from contact but instead it comes from strains and sprains. And we have even had players withdrawn from games after injuring themselves in the warm up. Some serious issues to be addressed here!
 
It was inevitable that De Bruyne would get injured -

4-0 at half time in the league cup against Sunderland - De Bruyne plays 90 minutes

3-0 up against Palace in the league cup after less than an hour - De Bruyne plays 75 minutes

Home match in the league cup against Championship opposition - De Bruyne plays 90 minutes

De Bruyne had played 39 matches already this season by the time he got injured in January
 
We have the same size squad. Everything he said is bollocks.
[we are allowed a 25 man squad we choose to fill our 25 man squad with only 18 outfield players and 3 goalkeepers. we could have 23 outfield players and maybe 2 keepers and another keeper on our under 21 list. only 2 players on our under 21 list have started premier league games. I also said we have an aging squad and pellegrini will not blood any youth players. which part of this is bollocks mr domalino?
 
Its fair to say that we have and should have a squad that can cover for injuries more than most, but all the same the fact that we are still fighting on all fronts having had the freakish
amount of injuries really is overlooked. Fantastic effort really and makes you think some of the criticism the team and manager have taken this season is a tad wide of the mark.

Right so when Silva was injured that was down to City .
No it wasn't that was down to some unknown player from Luxembourg clattering him .
When Aguero got injured this season that was down to someone clattering him in an international match .
When De Bruyne got injured that was down to another clattering from an Everton player .
When Navas got injured that was down to a clattering from some player from Sunderland .
It's safe to say your right about the likes of Kompany , Nasri ,Clichy ,and Delph .
They've all had injuries that are unexplained .

Navas didn't get a clattering, he done his hammy when sprinting.

Here's Nasri's injury explained

Our injury issues this season have been, frankly, ridiculous. The number of players who have missed games has been huge, and in many cases it's not been a game or two they've missed, it's been a hatful.

City have played 38 games in all competitions this season, to date here's how many games the following players have not played a part in during those 38 games. Now, some absences might be due to resting players, or inactive subs, but it's still a decent measure:-

Clichy - 26 games missed
Kompany - 26 games missed
Nasri - 30 games missed, with a minimum of another 10 still to be missed.
Zabaleta - 28 games missed
Delph - 18 games missed
Mangala - 18 games missed
Silva - 15 games missed
Bony - 15 game missed
Fernando - 14 games missed
Aguero - 13 games missed
De Bruyne - 7 games missed, with a minimum 12 to 13 still to be missed.

That's ridiculous.

Compare it to Leicester, they've played 30 games, 8 less than City, here's their main players, and how many games they've not taken a part in:-

Drinkwater - 5 games missed
Morgan - 5 games missed
Huth - 6 games missed
Vardy - 3 games missed
Albrighton - 1 game missed
Kante - 2 games missed
Simpson - 10 games missed
Okazaki - 4 games missed
Mahrez - 4 games missed
Fuchs - 9 games missed

Just contrast those figures with ours. It tells a very clear story.

As I said above, not participating in a game doesn't necessarily mean you're injured you could be rested, or an unused sub, and it's worth noting City have more opportunity to rotate than Leicester do given their squad make up, but the huge number of games missed by key players for City, compared to Leicesters almost total inclusion of said players, can't be ignored.
 
Leicster did a job on Aguero at the weekend. Not a word was said and hardly a card in sight.

It's a constant hatchet job and it happens because they get away with it.

But we don't fight back and that really winds me up.

Somebody needed to give Huth a gentlemans reminder on Saturday, if you see what I'm saying, but we had no leader to do it. No warrior.

Even Zabba shit the bed. And he's normally the first one on the front line.

It's accounted for a lot of our injuries this year

There is a fine line, I think, when you reach that sort of level in injuries, between bad luck and there being something wrong with the training.

It's incredible how badly we have suffered from it this year.

That list also doesn't include those playing through the pain barrier, such as Spanish Dave. It's had a huge impact on our season

They've all had injuries that are unexplained .

Think Aguero has had 3 instances this season
First was Scott Dan's knee high tackle at Palace Dan got yellow instead of red
Second was thigh playing for Argentina
Third was heel following heavy landing

Navas did his hamstring v Sunderland
Nasri has had a groin operation something he has had a problem with for awhile
Delph hamstring twice and kick on calf v Villa

Overall its too many games with its associated travelling, air travel isn't good for injures, should play kids in CoCup and a few injuries cropping up for internationals

Interesting that Simpson has missed more games (10) for them than any other player, and barring fuchs, he's missed nearly double what anyone else has missed.

We on the other hand have 10 players who have missed more games than that. 11 if you count KDB who is not coming back any time soon.

Astonishing.
 
With a aging squad the powers of recovery are harder than was when they first came to the club. The hard men we had for years that rarely got bad injuries this season have been out a lot with injuries. Kompany and Zabba they used to consitantly play with a knock and were our men of steel over the last couple of years. Now we got a weakness in the team. We need players who can handle the tougher harder games involved in England. Until then we will continue to get the knocks. IF we fail to get top 4 this season it will be a nightmare even with all the injuries we have to do it. Were in there for the title. I just hope we get some players back and quickly as with more players back were a better team. I think MP messed up should of let MDM go and held onto Denyaner this season.

Nasri explains in his own words above what his injury is. It's a fresh one that happened in training ( I've posted a link above ) to one of his thigh muscles, he doesn't say specifically which muscle.
