Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Axel Tuanzebe (ask Villa fans), Marcos Rojo, Timothy Fosu-Mensah. That's 7 first team defenders who cannot be relied on to be fit. Out of that whole bunch only Luke Shaw has managed to ever complete a full season for us, once, last season.
Seriously what's going on here? Are we just unbelievably unlucky or are we doing something seriously wrong with the way we train them? Of the senior players we only have Maguire, Lindelof, Young & Wan Bissaka who can be trusted to be fit for the majority of our matches. You see teams like Leicester and Sheffield United have the same back 4/5 every game and it makes me wonder what are we doing wrong?
Do we look to replace them and just blame bad luck? Or do you think there's a problem internally with out fitness training?
