It's not mindless, he had to be escorted out of the U21 game on Saturday after allegedly trying to kneecap Hugil during his celebrations.

Sorry to state the obvious, but with the number of injuries it is obvious that our training regime is not in line with our fitness training, and it is up to manager, not doctors.

This is good thread about possible problem

As far as I know he hasn’t even left Arsenal yet. Jim Moxon is the one I’ve seen in matches.

Part of me expected this bump to be because he'd developed carpal tunnel or something and needed to take a few weeks out.

Someone should have given a phone call to get Eva Carneiro on board. I don't believe that she can be blacklisted out of football because she fell out with Mourinho, especially not when the team fitness record under her tenure as first-team doctor speaks for itself under 4 different managers at Chelsea (Andre Villas-Boas, Roberto Di Matteo, Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho).

Starts his work at the club on Monday. A decent injury list will be waiting on his desk.

Since 2010, there has been a huge problem with the amount of injuries we get. And it's usually defenders too. It just feels like we get far more in key areas than other teams.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time

The annual defensive crisis has happened almost every season since at least 06/07 (where it very likely cost us a CL title). There was one year we had Smalling and Blind available almost all season, then I think two seasons with Maguire and Lindelof (even then the latter was playing through a back injury). Otherwise every single season we've had a period of a month or so where our defence is just broken and we end up with players out of position or way down the pecking order having to play.

Was curious, a quick search tells me she was in a dedicated sports clinic in Qatar back in 2022 seemingly involved with the World Cup.
