Aaron Wan-Bissaka out for up to two months

Its statistically normal to get this many injuries at some point in time. Bad luck and too many fixtures is probably the biggest reason.
 
Wasnt he reported to be not 100% and thus put on the bench on Saturday?

Why bring him on when the game was dead?
Braindead ETH(yes he was braindead against Brighton; not a single decision made sense) probably thought he could change the match around by giving 5mins each to Garnacho, Pellistri and AWB.
 
I'm surprised the forum is so upset about this. All I ever see is him getting slated on here.
 
This sheer amount of injuries has got to be down to poor fitness planning by the fitness coaches and manager.

Honest to god, wtf is going on.
 
Even if it's not directly related and that he's a young elite-level athlete who doesn't play at the International level, it doesn't help, that's for sure.

It's not a cause but it increases the risk and this is where professionalism comes in.


Either way, time for Dalot to do to AwB what he 'did' to him at the start of this year and take back control of that RB spot.
I wholeheartedly agree.
 
I think it's fairly clear that the club now hates itself, and is trying to do all it can to rid us of the Glazers single handedly.

It's just self harm everywhere right now.

Pretty sure we have a full Injured XI.

Heaton
AWB - Varane - Shaw - Malacia
Amrabat - Mainoo
Antony - Mount - Sancho
Amad
Not a bad team really.
The biggest shock is Martial isn’t leading the line.
 
If ole was the coach it would be his fault that we are getting injuries. That was absolute nonsense at the time but shows Eth is getting a fairly easy ride from the fans
 
Lurching from one crisis to another. Wouldn’t surprise me if ETH sacked it off and walked away while laughing at the Shit show that is this club at the moment.
 
4 games in and we have 10 players injured and 2 unavailable for discipliniary purposes.

Something is not right here at all. Are we just cursed or is there a reason for all these injuries?

Amazingly given all this, Martial remains available for selection.

I remember there was a period when Newcastle - this was back in the mid 00’s - had a period where literally they had these levels of injuries constantly for a couple fo seasons. They had like 15 players do their hamstring one year and they think it was something to do with the training pitches which were supposed to be modern but were too firm so they relocated to the junior pitches and it seemed to work.

Arguably an XI that is more balanced than the one we have fit :(
 
What on earth did we do in pre season? We've looked ludicrously off the pace all round the team and getting loads of these injuries.

Fair play to Wan Bissaka though, he's gone from someone everyone fears seeing on the pitch, to lamenting him being injured!

Really hope Dalot can get back to that period last year where he looked superb.
Just as well we brought Reguillon in or we'd really be stretched. Is Brandon Williams still knocking about?!
 
Bad injury crisis, so there is a underlying problem there?
It isn't the first time it has happened. If the training, medical facilities are outdated it may not be helping. Also I brought up these bloated tours, training in facilities that are superior to our, then come back to our not so good ones for the rest of the season.
