Injuries no different in past seasons to other clubs Bad training regimes would result in muscle injuries most of ours are joints This season, I’ve said it on other threads, we will see lots of injuries throughout football because of the insanity of finishing last season and the schedule of this and the next few seasons. We didnt have a pre-season, so players had a couple of weeks off, straight into this one without correct preparation Last season should have been declared null and void and started this one as normal. looking at the calendar players are not going to get proper recuperation time until after the winter WC season its absolutely madnessBeen like it for 3 years now . Don’t care what anyone says something is not right about the way we train .
Poor Philippe Sandler.
He’s brilliant at being injured and still doesn’t make it onto this list after the best part of two years out. Come on now show some respect! What does he have to do?
Did he get injured often at Bournemouth, or is it a case of the the City Medical team strike againHow long is Ake out for?

I'd love to see another club who's had the same number of prolonged injuries to the same amount of key players that we've had in the last 3-4 years. It's farcical at this stage.If there’s one thing I’ve noticed that all football forums have in common is that every fan base thinks their injury record is the worst.
This season there will be more everywhere so unfortunately we will just have to get on with it.
We do get lots of injuries, because our key players play an incredibly large number of big, high tempo games in a season. The biggest reason (apart from luck) that Liverpool have had less is that they have basically sacked off the domestic cups recently.
Agree completely. I would love to see us integrate some younger players to help the burden. I don't think throwing one or two in would make much difference and will help with the number of games we have and the lack of recovery time. The younger players will recover far quicker. This season should be sacking the league cup off really, but Pep just will not do it. He wants to win everything, but I think it hurts us when it comes to the Champions League knockouts.
The way we're playing this season we're also not really controlling games and so the amount of running will be a lot higher. Usually we'd punish teams early and then pass it around and manage the game. We seem to have lost that and end up in this end to end counter attacking football which requires effort right to the end of the match. At least in the CL you can still make the 5 subs. And hopefully game management improves as we get into the season. A lot of poor passing and mistakes throughout the side so far.
