Stevan Jovetic (continued)

[noely]

I fear hes just going to be another Bojinov

 

[Mr HJ]

We have to manage our players much better than we have in the past in respect of soft tissue injuries and recovering from soft tissue injuries.

High intensity training and playing has its risks but as many say its pointless having players in the treatment table time and time again especially if your planning to go deep in four comps every year.

Prevention is better than the cure.

Aye, I think you're right. Injuries during games I can accept as it's part and parcel of a physical contest, but the number of injuries we have acquired behind the scenes at Carrington is frightening. What the hell goes on down there?

A Richard Simmons DVD is my guess.

Love it!

And people had a go at me for directing people to charts of Jovetic and Bojinov.

Oh well, lets see what happens in the summer.

I wonder if he'd be injured as much at Chelsea? He would probably be just as injury prone at Arsenal and United, who along with us seem to have some dodgy medical techniques compared to many foreign clubs and Chelsea.

City's injury record this season:

Chelsea's injury record this season:

Less total injuries at Chelsea, but also note the lack of muscle injuries. Many of them seem to be impact, which are harder to avoid.

IMO, it's unacceptable at City, just like it is at Arsenal - and Wenger agrees (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/14/arsenal-arsene-wenger-internal-inquiry-injury-crisis" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... ury-crisis</a>).

But 3 players who have had troubled seasons: Aguero, Jovetic and Kompany were all hampered in pre-season. I don't think there's any need to dig deeper than that, and as fans we can't as we just don't know enough about the players, preparation or the science involved in injury prevention

It's easy to observe and comment on the different injury records of clubs, but difficult for us to make judgements on matters we don't know anything about.
