How do you get four players hurt in one week of practice?

Genuinely curious. Seems hard to believe.

Maybe Ugarte and Collyer were hurt before? Is Diallo's injury more chronic? Otherwise I can't really fathom how it happened.
 
I often wondered over the last few seasons why so many players keep getting lengthy injuries. Given this latest injury situation I can only assume that training is too aggressive or, players just aren't sharp enough and it's leading to picking up injuries because they aren't being conditioned properly.
Either way it's not right, it's not bad luck or a jinx, that's a silly excuse.
 
Amorim said Ugarte and Mainoo felt something so likely a bit of muscle strain and Collyer got a kick so those three won't be out too long.

Amad's done his ligaments which can happen.
 
We've had a terrible injury record for years. Not in the outright number of injuries we get, but the number of recurrences and how many get crocked outside games. The theme appears to be how poor we are at protecting players.

I'd love to know how long some of our physios and medical staff have been at the club because somebody somewhere has been getting it wrong for a long time.
 
The fact that our players always look slow and lacking sharpness has to be linked to the injury situation. Either standards not high enough or conditioning and medical staff fine tuning the players sharpness is a level or two below everyone else in the division.

Isn't it six? Mainoo, Ugarte, Eriksen, Collyer, Amad and Yoro.
 
Sudden uptake in training intensity. It happens, normally in pre/early season but Ruben’s been banging on about his training sessions and now he’s got the time the players will need to get used to it in the middle of the season.
 
The players are jaded and could do with a rest
 
It's funny how we play like a team that lacks training, yet every season we manage to pile up injuries through training them too hard
 
It ia not unique to us, as a lot of teams have suffered injuries lately.

It should be something to do with the amount of games these players had to play during last two months probably.

Can you find an example of another team with four training injuries in a week? I'm pretty sure it's unique to us.
 
Makes me laugh this was a full week of training.

In that week we ended up with 4 injuries.

Maybe training is not the one :lol:

This is my take as well. Seems like we've pushed the players too hard in a bit of a desperate attempt to fix stuff mid season and it's backfired.

Then they all looked out of gas by the 60th minute, after having more than a week since our last match. Diego Dalot especially looked absolutely cooked by the 60th. But he wasn't the only one. In the first half especially the entire team looked like they were running in sand. It defies logic.
 
Could be a mix of the cold weather and poor warming up. I'm part of a boxing gym, coach part time when I can be bothered and there's about 7 people out of action right now, strains, pulls and tears. I'm pretty sure at least half of them are down to not warming up properly before 6am runs in 0 degree temps because I see how slapdash they are at warming up (and down) in the gym unless they're told, and when there's 40-50 people training, you can't nanny everyone.
