Regular injuries are just going to be part and parcel of this season, given the amount of games the players are being made to play. We actually only have two players definitely out today in De Bruyne and Jesus (and neither are particularly serious injuries), so don’t think we necessarily suffer worse than any other club. We’re actually starting to get players back, and the bench today will be the strongest it’s been all season.

If you look on Physio Room you’ll see that virtually all teams are suffering in a similar way.Our injury issues are really peeing me off now. Yes we play lots of games but something is seriously wrong with our medical team or training structure.

I think the thing is with us is that every we tend to leave one to 2 positions short with our transfer business, then we get hit over the course of that season with injuries.
Happened regularly with left back, CB and CM, never seem to have issues at RB and on the wings, although we probably do just we are always fully stocked there.

He'd still have played for Belgium.I think Pep is going to take the Carabao Cup seriously. With Champions league games over the next 2 weeks plus oremier league its going to be all hands to the pump.Maybe starting de Bruyne in the carabao cup against burnley wasn't such a great idea after all
I believe we have 5 games still to play this month
Yep which makes the decisions by the various football bodies to play all their tournaments, instead cutting down on some, even more scandalous. It’s not often I have sympathy with well paid footballers but they are being flogged to death during a pandemic.If you look on Physio Room you’ll see that virtually all teams are suffering in a similar way.
Yeah, seems ridiculous that they’re having to play so many international games on top of an already congested fixture list. Not to mention the Covid related risks that come with it.Yep which makes the decisions by the various football bodies to play all their tournaments, instead cutting down on some, even more scandalous.

We can't complain about injuries when pep insists on playing our best players in every competition. We all like to win trophies but this year you have to prioritise otherwise half our players will be dead by Christmas with at least two games every weekYep which makes the decisions by the various football bodies to play all their tournaments, instead cutting down on some, even more scandalous.

Huge decision not to bring a striker in if this is true imo.

Ye and he's also said in the past someone would be out for a few games and it turned out months.He did say Aguero would be for 2 months 4 weeks ago...
Either way silly decision not to bring a backup forward in.

What’s going on here with Jesus? Didn’t Pep said he was back in training but they had to be careful? All of a sudden he’s out for months??
So we haven’t been careful? Don’t get this.

Wouldn't necessarily take what Pep said as gospel, he often gives misleading timeframes. He could mean we won’t see him until next month which is just a few weeks away. Sergio is back now, kdb won’t be out for long Jesus is the only forward injury after that, not ideal but we have options.
I did say it will be interesting to see how many are complaints about injuries come Christmas after farcically rejecting the 5 subs rule, with the way it’s going, the Christmas prediction might need to be pushed forward. I can see another re-vote on that coming in mid season once the clubs opposed to it realise how incredibly stupid they’ve been which will further degrade the integrity of the completion. I wonder if there’s any noticeable difference between the Premier league and Europe even this early on.

If he is out for months then why the fuck would we register him for the champions league and leave out Delap?
