It’s not just football though. Tennis players blaming the balls, football players blaming number of matches.

It’s almost as if there’s currently a pandemic in which people keep getting reinfected with a virus shown to induce muscular damage.
COVID negatively impacts body composition/muscle function
Association between SARS‐COV‐2 infection and muscle strain injury occurrence in elite male football players
The study above reported a five times higher risk of developing a muscle strain after a SARS-CoV-2 infection in elite male football players.
Since more time that’s passed = more infections, you’d expect the situation to worsen year by year, which it is doing.
The women’s game hasn’t escaped the injuries either.
Arsenal Women’s list of injuries just keeps growing – 43% of players injured
Oh and just across the Atlantic. Injury crisis in the NFL.
What’s Causing the NFL’s QB Injury Crisis?
MLB too. They’re trying to blame the pitch clock though rather than number of games or the balls. Such an amazing coincidence every major sport has an injury crisis.
Major League Baseball more severe injuries

Lindelof & Mount next week, Eriksen the following week.Are any of the walking dead actually close to returning any time soon?
Just look at Shaw. Does he look like a top class athlete capable of bombing up and down the line all game? No facilities can sort him out.It can’t just be bad luck. How are these guys training? What are the coaches, physios, doctors and nutritionists doing? What equipment and facilities do they operate with? Players coming back and then getting re injured (eg. Shaw tonight). Best in class we should have in all these areas. But I fear none of these areas are best, hence a never ending injury crisis crippling the squad.
Believe Amad is back in full training so hopefully he's not too far away. Martial and Rashford are "ill" so hopefully back soon. Suppose we'll have to wait and see on Lindelof, Maguire and Shaw but hopefully things aren't as bad for the weekend....or before the festive fixtures.Rashford

Reguilon is definitely the standard required, he’s class.Shaw is unfit and injury prone. We need to sign a LB pronto in the next window. Reguilon is not to the standard required. Similarly Varane is also very injury prone, we need to get their replacements, we would be stupid to go into another season without getting their replacements.

Uniteds motto should be “stupid is as stupid does”we would be stupid to ….
Here's a current snapshot...Is there anywhere we can find out how our injuries have compared against other teams this season? Seems like our injuries have been way worse than I can remember and for a longer stretch of time but could just feel that way with the season were having.
I don’t know how anybody can look at that and not conclude there might be something in the over-worked complaints from players and managers.
Yeah. Who'd have thought that men changing balls could cause injury in men's tennis.
Rushed back....to play him at CB.Shaw was out for months, came back out of nowhere and started. Don't recall anything about him playing in the reserves, happened out of nowhere.
That was at Everton. 3 days later he plays a full game in Istanbul. 3 days after that he plays a full game vs Newcastle - then he turs around and plays a full game vs Chelsea and again on shorter rest, starts vs Bournemouth. Get's taken off early to give him a breather (and he looked jaded) , and then finally after his 6th game in 17 days, after he looked shattered on Saturday he breaks down. All this whilst in the background this Varane situation, I don't care what's gone on we aren't in a position to alienate someone who got on like a house on fire with the manager until what seem's to be august this year.
Now I like the Manager, he will get it right and I get how important how Shaw is to us - but that above is gross negligence and the result is we may now miss him for an extended period. Really frustrating because this was completely predictable in Shaw's case.
The majority of the league doesn't have European football or international football to play. It can't be too many games for them.I don’t know how anybody can look at that and not conclude there might be something in the over-worked complaints from players and managers.
A quarter of the league has half their squad injured, and 4 more teams have around 8 players out. Thats half of the league effectively operating with their main XI unable to play. It’s insane
Agree with this. It's poor management with any player but especially so with someone who has the injury history of Shaw. I was surprised he started against Bournemouth because it seemed so obvious that he couldn't keep playing every few days after just coming back and on paper that seemed the logical game to rest him.Shaw was out for months, came back out of nowhere and started.

That doesn't include Martial and Rashford, who missed last night, of course, so are presumably doubtful for the weekend. The addition of those two makes United the worst effected, currently, in the division.
How the hell did City play the most football of all clubs this season but have the fewest injuries?
Agree, even then he took him off early so he clearly could see it. Well done - but then don't play him again last night. You're asking for it and now we have it.Agree with this. It's poor management with any player but especially so with someone who has the injury history of Shaw. I was surprised he started against Bournemouth because it seemed so obvious that he couldn't keep playing every few days after just coming back and on paper that seemed the logical game to rest him.
To opposite - Shaw is an excellent player. He was excellent at CB last year, I don't get the criticism in that regard - I think from a tactical perspective that's one of ETH's better moves. But good god don't flog him to the extent he has been - it's not a coincidence he was crap saturday and gave a goal away - guy has gone from not playing to playing every 3 days.Rushed back....to play him at CB.
At this point it looks like the manager has had a titiful and is actively trying to get himself sacked.
"the secret ingredient is crime"How the hell did City play the most football of all clubs this season but have the fewest injuries?
Thank you but i mean throughout the season. I'm sure somewhere has a stat of minutes missed by first team players. Just wanted to see if that was higher than usual.
Lisandro Martinez has been pictured back in training, but is unlikely to be rushed back after last time.Are any of the walking dead actually close to returning any time soon?

Proposals to include increasing diversity - with more BAME, female and multi-faith appointments - in medical team.
City with 3 injuries. Not even trying to hide their doping regime.
Diversity is always a good thing. Brings with it diversity of thought and lived experiences. So long as the appointments are also on merit, I'm all for it.This must by a wind up:
It’s just classic daily Mail clickbait. All corporations want to be seen to embrace diversity so there’s always an expectation to build some goals related into diversity into any big project. Especially if it relates to personnel. So obviously the Mail will have taken a bullet point from page three of the proposal and make it their headline.Oh no, do I even dare look at the twitter comments?

The science behind what you’re claiming is sloppy as hell. Basically any viral illness can cause muscle weakness and myalgia. Everyone knows that who’s ever had flu. With covid professional athletes would have been forced to self isolate and miss out on maintenance S&C training. Add that all together and it’s no great surprise that when Covid was forcing a lot of athletes to take time out from their training regimes they were at increased risk of a muscle strain on their return. There’s zero evidence that being infected with covid causes some sort of chronic, ongoing muscle weakness. I’d go as far as saying it’s extremely unlikely. What is a very likely cause for covid muscular injuries getting more common has been the disrupted sporting calendar, with major tournaments postponed/delayed and much worse fixture congestion than ever before. Obviously, in terms of football, a mid season World Cup was always going to be a bit of a disaster for professional footballers.It’s not just football though. Tennis players blaming the balls, football players blaming number of matches.
