He always takes time to play himself back to fitness and form, so he’ll probably stink for a few games before being class again.
Injury Crisis 2023/24 | Martínez and Casemiro back in training
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Probably one of the worst takes on a football player that I’ve ever read or heard. And I talk a lot of shit personally so have experience
Varane wanted to leave for a new challenge as did Casemiro actually.
Evans out for 3-4 weeks. Part and parcel innit.

It goes beyond bad luck at this point
While Evans is injured, it would be nice to play our best CB. You know, just for a change.
If ETH will still be here(hopefully) - he"ll have to pay attention to the pre season games because I think that all of our current injuries are because of the current pre season who imo was a shambles.
Its not bad luck now, it's poor training.
Old injury prone CB somehow started a lot lately, would would have seen this coming? This is not luck or bad medical department. This is just bad management on first team management.
Evans is out for the game later and the international break (not a bad thing for us). It's something we should be able to cope with.
I just really want Shaw and Martinez back asap.

all i want for Christmas is my two proper center backs, my two proper center backs, my two proper center backs
it flows
it flows
That's even better
Eriksen and hojlund the latest injuries, can't recall a worse injury hit season than this.

Too many non contact muscle injuries for it to be a coincidence. Are we perhaps overdoing it in training during the week?
Got to be something like that.
If you're having to battle for 95 mins a game you get injuries. Quality teams score 2 or 3 and then go into cruise control
So that's now Martinez, Shaw, Evans, Eriksen, Casemiro, Hojlund, Malacia all out
The fact that hojlund had to play on for a couple minutes was ridiculously stupid
You are probably right and the irony is we look the most untrained team in the league.
Amad as well.
This is true
Eriksen's injury has nothing to do with training, he got his studs stuck in the turf and by the look ofmit twisted his knee
Aside from possibly overdoing it in training, games are 10-30 minutes longer this season because of the new added time guidelines. Varane called it out before the season started.
Our marketing department have probably had more control over pre season then our manager.
Are we still thinking the issue is solely with United when a lot of other clubs have players being out because of muscle injuries?
Almost as if this season was following almost 18months of crazy runs of games when we had a nations Euro Cup in the Summer of 2021 with shortened holidays for players followed by a December World cup in the middle of the season a year and half later and new club european cup mean (conference league) added.
We are the most hit because we played the most games across all the big 5 european leagues. Sure, we should’ve had a better pre season, but even then we would still have suffered muscle injuries

Plus all the standing around in the cold, waiting for VAR reviews, has to increase the risk of injury too.
When is Licha expected to be back?
February I think, we need a backup left sided defender in January.
Any of the injured expected to be back after the international break? Would be a welcome boost.
Our injured team would kick ass. Is there an injured players league or something? 
I do wonder if Shaw might go back at left centre back with the absence of Martinez. Depends which area EtH feels Shaw is needed the most.
What even happened to Malacia? All the reports say his injury and return date are unknown, 6 months later. Did he get whacked?
His knee wasn’t it? Apparently back soon after international break
He looked a liability before his injury anyway, think Reguilon will keep his place
AWB and Amad too?
AWB ill, not injured.
Indeed, the team whose players have probably played the most consecutive football since Summer 2020 COVID restart are now getting a lot of muscle injuries. It makes sense.
It's weird, but I totally forgot he played for us.
To be fair, that’s a blessing. I, unfortunately, frequently get flashbacks of him playing for us. It’s a form of PTSD.
