At the very least having Zirkzee should mean we don't have to rush Højlund back. I think part of the reason he struggled last season was because he was never really fully fit, but we needed him to play.
Leny Yoro | Out for 3 months with a metatarsal injury
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
Tbf Jurrien Timber did his ACL in their first game last year and missed basically the rest of the season.
Amended for accuracy.
More injuries, maybe time for a rethink on what bootwear players should use, so as to protect the foot as much as possible
feck sake I can't wait for the cyber revolution, if he had a robotic carbon fibre metatarsal this would've never happened.
On artificial pitches. They're great.
3 months? Was 3 weeks at one point yesterday. Doubt we’ll see him by 2027.
...until Martinez is out. Which is inevitable.
What an absolute cnut this is.
Same thing happened to Mainoo in last years preseason , its written in the stars 
Harsh on @rimaldo
This has really really pissed me off to be honest. The players we sign are either shit, or the ones that look good just get injured all of the time. It keeps happening year after year after year.
We got him in but at a time when he couldn’t do much in terms of changes, he is now tasked with spearheading change in the whole dept as far as I’m aware, he will work out good in the end I think.
Yes, exactly the club has been run so poorly. But there’s plenty that can be done about it , it’s not just that players weren’t up to the challange , the club was incapable of creating the right environment for success which included signing the wrong kind of players.
It’s not some conspiracy, it’s just a fact that United have done so many things wrong on so many levels , it’s contributed to failure of most of our signings.
Yeah
Then it gets suggested we'll have to buy more players in those positions to cover. Kind of think "what's the point, they will only get injured as well"
I'd rather keep the targets we already have. Don't want them missing out on a DM which we desperately need just because Hojlund gets injured every other game and we have to keep signing players to cover him.
Good call…
We're absolutely fecking jinxed
Woodward's Disney land.
Wrong kind of players, but more often the wrong kind of motivation. Normally money.
Things will change, but it'll take time to completely shed that skin
Awful news, so looking forward to seeing the lad play.
It's bizarre - he's had a really good injury record up to now right? yet he joins us and gets injured within 2 games - you can't make it up.
Oh...Driscoll is responsible for more injuries then Vinnie Jones in his prime.
Raging over this. I'm so irrationally mad at the club over it.
You've already identified it's irrational, so work backwards from that
Now to pray he isn't just Phil Jones's replacement. Extremely disappointing but this is something I've gotten used to by now.
Already had done.
Young players are much more prone to injuries , its more uncommon that they dont have any in their early years
Was it Mainoo or Amad that got hurt on an artificial pitch last year?
Just rotten luck. Is there really any criticism to here that isn't just hindsight?
Amad vs Arsenal in a preseason too.
Mainoo vs Madrid.
How the hell did he break metatarsal? There seemed to have been no impact injury and I don't think it is the kind of injury caused by artificial pitch, so hardly the fault of where we played
Something bizarre
Something bizarre
Can we get a refund? Fecking joke that we blew most of our budget on this kid. Another terrible season awaits.
Martinez did the same just running against Sevilla.
Head of Medical Services. More senior role than chief physio. If you're really clutching at straws you could convince yourself that he left Arsenal after a lengthy overhaul of their medical processes, resulting in a much improved injury record, and has only just started overhauling ours.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I'm as disappointed as anyone with this but it's clearly bad luck. The second sentence is just hysterical.
That's the spirit!
He’s only 18, he hasn’t even had time to build up a good injury record. Metatarsal is a bit of a freak injury, we can blame the club/ETH/whoever for muscle injuries and overworking and overtraining players, but this one is just bad luck. The club genuinely feels cursed with this.
I thought it looked like he got stood on just before he went off but hard to tell.
The pitch wasn't artificial.
I always get called negative and hysterical but then the club proves me right. I was getting a tiny bit excited until this happened.
It's no way to be on such a regular basis. Must be so draining.
I pray for ETH. They gets no break from bad luck
