It is a bit of a worry how injury prone Bailly has been at United.
Great player when fit but we need him to be fit.
Bailly's not injury-prone, I wish some of our fans would stop this crap.
How have you come to the conclusion he's not injury prone?
Seems to be injured quite a lot. Especially this season, barely seen him
So he's been available for about 3 weeks since the start of October. It's mid December and Jose has said he's seriously injured so you'd expect him to be out for a long time. That would sound like someone injury prone to me.He's being injured twice this season according to soccerway
Groin Strain 17/11/17 - now
Groin Strain 06/10/17 - 26/10/17
Was the correct decision after all. Our defense is very injury-prone except Smalling.Thank feck Jose bought another CB
But Tuanzebe...?Thank feck Jose bought another CB
As I wrote earlier this week about his injury. I expected 2 degree tear of adductor longus muscle but obviously its the 3rd degree, complete rupture it will take 3 months.

Always seems to be the case at United.Oh god! Not one more injury..
It sounded like a regular injury with not much updates and now suddenly it's a season ending one..
that came from nowhere. Very sad for the guy, ankle injuries is debilitating for football players. Ask Bale .Tweet

We don't have that luxury. Seems like whoever we bought end up with injury problem as if it's requirement. Even Vida in his healthy period was in &I out with injury. Milan tie was an example. The next season, he missed semi vs Barcelona which Brown stepped up big time or we're cursing our injury curse instead of having fond memory of winning CL. In later years, Rio, Vida, Evans, Jones, Smalling were all crocks. Felt as if they're not o Ly rotating within the squad, but also the physic room.Our centre backs:
Bailly - Our best defender but currently out injured. Might require surgery.
Jones - Very solid but unfortunately very injury prone.
Lindelof - Still adapting to the PL and hopefully will continue improving.
Rojo - Solid and sometimes makes very rash decisions. Have been in and out of injuries lately.
Smalling - IMO, our most awkward defender. Awkward passing style and almost always seem to have a mistake or two in him.
Tuanzebe - Haven't seen him enough in PL games to have a proper judgement.
Should we satisfied with our current defensive options? Or should we sell one or two and bring in new defenders in the summer?
Miss the days of the Rio-Vidic brick wall playing week in week out.
Yeah fair points. But even so, our options of Rio, Vidic, Evra, Brown and even O'Shea, I would trust any of them to put in a shift. But for me, right now the only defenders I'm confident of is Bailly and Jones and both just can't seem to stay fully fit this season.We don't have that luxury.

He's anything but cool or composed imo.Our best CB, likely to miss most of the season, bollocks.
Our remaining options are good enough mind, to see us through. Not as good as Bailly, but good enough. He just adds a level of coolness back there, without him we seem like a bunch of panicky headless chickens - not bad CB's, just lacking in composure.
