Injury Updates

We should write off the idea that he will ever get a run in the team, shame

It's tragic, a world class player if he stayed fit unfortunately that's never the case. Mind you that seems to apply to all our defenders these days.

Shame about Stones but luckily it's a position we're fully stacked in.

If Ake is used as a FB (in the big games) in February, we'll have 3 fit CBs for 2 positions, provided that they stay fit.

You say that as if it’s a problem.
Most teams have 4 for that reason.
add to that all those who complain about not having a settled defence I cannot accept anyone arguing that there is an issue with us having a few injured defenders

Hell of a player but made of glass

 

[vicblueman]

Stones will never play a lot of games continuously, neither will Ake .
Its not their fault just one of those things ,we will have to accept it while their both at the club .

Back to square one with cover but we can't overstock Centre Backs either

He’s world class, but these injuries are so frustrating. He’s had a consistent run in the side as well.

We seem to have lots of players who get injured regularly now

Ake very rarely missed a game before he came to City. Had a hamstring injury late in his last season with Bournemouth but before that he played every week for 3 or 4 seasons.

It probably hasn't helped at City that he hasn't played consistently. Maybe his injury record improves now he plays every week?

Feel sorry for big John, he’s one of our best players but his body won’t give him a break with injuries, one after the other ..
Of course nothing will be mentioned about our injuries in the press or by the sycophants pretending to be pundits ..

Get well soon. As long as he is back for the run in we'll be fine. Dias had a good rest, now John. A good recharge of the batteries won't do much harm. The extra games in the world cup probably didn't help so a month recuperation is about right. Other clubs will have injuries too.
