Correct. We're seeing the cumulative effect of several seasons with minimal summer breaks and a small squad, almost all of whom get dragged across the globe for bloody international games. - Plus more stupid competitions like the World Club Cup next summer.
It’s just the consequence of Pep wanting a small squad. You can’t compete on all 4 fronts and any injuries are felt much more…but who’s gonna disagree with Pep?
In the quadruple season we had 22/23 first team players plus kids, now we’ve got 19 and 5 are injured.
