They also aid recovery. Maybe players aren't recovering as they should.Medical staff treat injury.

Casemiro played 90 minutes last night.
think his injury is fine

It’s always a catch 22 with him. If he doesn’t play he looks unfit. If he plays on international duty he looks fatigued.His legs won’t be though. I selfishly wish he’d just retire from international football.
Or maybe speak to the managers. It's understandable that they want to play with their strongest team for short term gain, but I think they simply have to manage their squads better. If Varane is complaining about the number of games he has to play, then give him a rest. It not like he has to play every game when he's fit. Also, we are now allowed to use 5 subs instead of 3, which should also ease the burden - at least potentially if all 5 subs are used.The PL has the most injuries out of any top league, and with the increase in games, injuries are becoming more common. Instead of an internal investigation, we need to speak to the people increasing the amount of games.
You do realise that seasons don't reset everything and it's all continuous. If a player plays a lot of games then it has a permanent effect on their body, plus the more games you play the more chance you have at getting a bad tackle or a dodgy fall and twisting something. The human body can only take so much no matter how professional you are. Some players who used to play way fewer games are in constant pain when they retire in their 30s. Also, I think you need to look into how many games players actually played because in typical RC style you've made a lot of it up.Or maybe speak to the managers.

So, I'm at best mildly emphatic to the "too many games" mantra. If it is so that there are more injuries in the PL, it could also be because of the high tempo, which may cause more impact injuries, and also, there is a high number of internationals in the PL, which could be a contributing factor, as internationals, obviously, are playing more games.
However, if you look at the injuries at United specifically, hardly any of them can be explained by the large number of games. Bissaka only played half the season, and was to some degree rotated with Dalot. Amrabat came injuries to United, but he was at strike this summer, and didn't play a single game all preseason. Martinez went to the WC, but he was mostly an unused sub + plus he didn't kick a ball all spring. Maybe they pushed him back to soon, but still, you cannot relate that to high number of games. Mount got injured, but had a role as a squad player at Chelsea last season and started plenty of games on the bench. Same with Hojlund. Heaton and Malacia cannot possibly be in the "too many games" category, and neither can be true for Mainoo. So, then we are left with Shaw, basically.
A more likely explanation - like Ten Hag also briefly said in a presser - fotballers today are top athletes, meaning they are pushing the limits in training for how much their bodies can take. You see that in others sports as well, that you sometimes cross the limit and harm your musculature in the pursuit of becoming as good as possible. There's a lot of competition within the squad, so it's not unthinkable that e.g. Bissaka is pushing too hard in training to keep Dalot out of the team. So I think this needs to be addressed to the fitness department within the clubs, rather than to the FA.
And the Glazers are definitely staying!So instead of getting better this break, we've now lost amrabat and casemiro and Malacia is actually out til new years and not just another month?
Nice one.
Oh you're right. What was that whole thing about casemiro getting an ankle injury? Thought he had left international duty!
Casa injured. The house is caving in!
We'll see. I've been thinking he's class, he'll turn it around asap. With his mentality he will refuse to be bad.I think it's a blessing in disguise tbh. He's been pretty crap and it'll force Ten Hag to play Amrabat as the sole CDM.
Isn't Amrabat Aldo carrying a back injury?I think it's a blessing in disguise tbh. He's been pretty crap and it'll force Ten Hag to play Amrabat as the sole CDM.

Does anyone know if Reguilon is available to play?So both our DMs are injured. At least we're playing Sheffield United only

Good. Hope so.Amrabat and Hojlund were training I think?
We'll still give up that against the run of play goal around the 23rd. minute.So both our DMs are injured. At least we're playing Sheffield United only
If I was inaccurate in my post, please point out for me where I was wrong. Yes, I agree that a new season does not reset everything, but still, the players we have had injuries on this season are mostly relatively young and do not fit into the too-many-games narrative.You do realise that seasons don't reset everything and it's all continuous.

The intensity of games combined with the intensity in training is a possible cause rather than the number of games, some players handle that better than othersIf I was inaccurate in my post, please point out for me where I was wrong.

Would be the first step i. the right direction.I have my doubts, both this and varane. Could see them go to Saudi in January.
