Joy. Our attack starts to look like it is starting to function and then this. We simply don't have enough attacking player, and looks like our lack of ability to rotate likely made this injury worse than it would have been.
Rashford | Back in training (22nd May 2020)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Roy Keane's fault
Not sure if this was posted, but this medical resident who does sports injury analysis on youtube, posted a video on Rashford's double stress fracture today:
This is what happens when you gut the squad depth, it was really smart booting all these players out and then spending 80% of the budget on two defenders.
Also it doesn't help when the manager throws injured players onto the field and aggravates their injuries further, happened with Pogba and now with Rashford both in meaningless cup ties because he was desperate for a result. It's negligent at best and self serving at worst.

No. The medical team probably said he's fine to play but not more than 45 minutes. Football manager and coach can't tell if he's injured and can't play or no.
If even this doesn’t wake Ed and Ole up for the need of signings, I don’t know what will.
It was beyond dumb of ole to even keep rashford on the bench for a FA cup 3rd round replay against wolves. Sometimes, I really don't know what he is thinking and how stupid is our medical department who could not see this coming, when even the average internet fan could.
Dumbness personified.
Dumbness personified.
Thanks for posting that. Admittedly, he's working from the snippets provided by the press, rather than Rashford's scans but it does help explain that idea of a single fracture becoming a double fracture.
Cavani incoming?
Great opportunity for Martial to show how good he is ....... or isn’t!
We absolutely cannot afford to rush him back. I'd rather him sit out the rest of the season and be fresh and raring to go next year. From a selfish point of view, i'd rather him miss the euros too.
I guess we can see where we're at when he comes back, but if we stagnante and we're 7 or 8 points off top 4 towards the end of april, then there is no point.
Of course, this won't happen - We'll see him early march, strapped up and he'll snap in two.

But these are the exact statements that set him up to fail? Of course he’s not going to excel. We have just lost one of our remaining few quality players. Are we going to expect martial to play well completely alone because Rashford sure as hell didn’t early in the season!
The players can’t win when it comes to injuries. With some managers/fans, at least.
If you do the totally rational thing of sitting out; taking the immediate effect to lessen the long-term aftermath, your credibility and commitment is questioned. If you decide to lionheartedly play through pain and injuries, you end up doing further damage to yourself.
Injuries in the sport of football are a tricky one. So easy for us sitting at home to call out lads on a tele earning hundreds of thousands a week, but it’s blatantly more nuanced than that.

cheers for posting this. Good job.
The decision to spunk all the monies on Maguire looks worse and worse with time. It was obvious we needed to buy an attacker and CM. Instead we got a marginal improvement on Smalling.
You failed to understand the comment, what I'm saying is: this is a well known problem that Rashford has for a long time now. This is not new. If you have Diabetes and one day you say you feel dizzy then I must check your blood sugar, otherwise I'm ignorant. If Rashford has this problem for a long time and he complains of backache I don't look for problems or at least give him some rest, then you're ignorant.
Now don't tell me they didn't know he has a back problem for years now. Because they knew.
I worry that if Martial and Greenwood don't provide the goals he will rush back out of duty. Which could be a disaster. Back problems are a nightmare and he needs to have time to heal.
To add to that Ole confirmed himself that Rashford had a back problem. Basically the poster you're replying to is talking a load of nonsense.
Sounds terrible, but in the longterm that will be the best scenario for Marcus. If we are still in contention, then the temptation will be for Ole to keep asking him how he is and you know Marcus will try to come back to help the team. In this instance he really does have to think about himself.
Weird post
Solskjær probably knows he's messed up.
And If people are unsure of what to make of all this they can always ask a person who knows it all. You seem to have all the information from the inner workings of the club to details about the medical staff.
That's silly, many managers do this all the time. It was just unlucky. Ask some players how many times they have played with injuries.
I don't think he had the squad options not to play him. He would even have played him yesterday with injections if he could have got away with it, from his comments
Sad news, but Rashford has had to be over-extended this season. We cannot rest him, and he is still developing his game.
Surely.... surely....surely... we must get a couple in on loan this transfer window. It is no surprise that McTom and Rashford now have long term injuries. Both young. Both now arguably too influential and important to the squad, and therefore we have to play them every game. Macguire too. He plays all the time, and last week picked up an injury. Don't be surprised if he also develops a problem.

I know its easy to put stuff like this up but he does seem to be turning into a leader within the squad. We badly need them so thats good.
Don't know how much credence to give it but just read comments by ex- Spurs Jamie O'Hara saying its a pig of an injury that never really goes away. RVP said similar. O'Hara also said its no wonder Pogba goes elsewhere for his treatment. Terrible neglect. Watch out Greenwood. We have an appalling record for injuries over recent years, although I thought we had a bit of a shake up in the medico dept?
The club has been stripped to the bare bones as many feared over a decade ago. We really are in some shit right now. Even Keane and GNev have finally woken up to it. Still plenty of deniers around that can't see these owners have no interest in the clubs welfare. As if the writing wasn't on the wall when they effectively bought the club with its own money and then set about asset stripping. And feck all we can do about it.

Hope he's 100% when he's back, exceptional playerAfter the recent LC game at Old Trafford, I complained on the City forums that whereas Rashford seemed to be improving, despite seemingly playing virtually every game, the City forwards were forever struggling after being rested (Mahrez being the most recent example)
Regardless of club bias, we're now hearing that Rashford has been playing through the pain barrier for the last few weeks, and it's now a concern that this contributed to a more serious injury.

Great, so our midfield is decimated with McT and Pogba out, now our attack with this. Which of our defenders is going to make it a complete set?
Not sure if Jamie O'Hara hasn't said he was out for nine months with his injury. Have to hope that he will not need an operation on his back.
Fernandes and a Forward would be nice this window.

It's far too soon. He will get eaten alive.
The interview after the game yesterday was the first time I've seen Ole be truly uncomfortable during a press conference, he is usually so smooth yet when asked about Rashford's exact injury he was almost squirming (I also saw hints of a smile but that may have been nerves/ embarrassment at being caught out) it's the first time I've seen him act truly uncomfortable when interviewed it was good to see the interviewer properly press him for an answer.
We really are a complete mess of a club . Our medical staff have been rumoured to be shit for years our playing staff has been cut to the bare bones our ground is worse for wear and we have idiots in charge of our transfers
I worry more about him stepping on a rake (repeatedly)
Levitt and Garner would be next in line anyway, that's just press doing what the press do.
Garner does not look ready yet. He is great at his own age level, but unsurprisingly looks really timid when pushed into the first team. I presume it means we have no money to spend.
I saw that too. Felt sorry for him slightly. Looked like had been caught with his trousers down.
