25/26 Injury and illness thread

[WillWeEverBeGoodAgain]

Would love to see this over a 3 year period, bet we’d be streets ahead of everyone else!

Be interesting if they’d have put some detail to the injuries as well, eg I bet Dowman accounts for about 100 days lost for the Goons but it would be like us missing Scarlett from the squad if he was injured. Not all injured players are of equal impact/status.

I said this to my pals

This is why the stats are slightly meaningless i.e. you could miss your best 5 midfielders for the whole year, or miss 5 kids/nobodies/backups for the year, there is no comparison but the stat says it is the same number of missed days.

Looks like Sarr might’ve had some dodgy lasagna whilst at AFCON…

I saw a Tweet saying that several Senegal players mysteriously went down with illness (food poisoning) right before the game vs Morocco hosted in Morocco... and the same happened 2 years ago right before the game vs Morocco hosted in Morocco... and 2 years before that... and 2 years before that... so the accusation is that some Morocco scumbags are deliberately poisoning their rivals before big games, and yet Morocco will host the World Cup in 2030?!! Along with Spain and Portugal.

Let's hope we don't have to go there. Did you see this article about Adrian Heath being kidnapped in Morocco?

The extraordinary story of a soccer coach, a kidnapping and a Saudi job that didn’t exist

Adrian Heath was duped into thinking he was on the verge of a new job – only to be held at knifepoint in Morocco. Turns out he's not alone

It definitely seemed like he came back early. A couple of games ago he pulled up with injury and was beating the ground with his fists, but then pushed through and played again as we needed him... and now has an injury... do we know if it is the same thing or something else... I'm confused what is wrong.

Amazing how the injuries keep happening. It’s almost like there is a bigger problem than just once coach’s system.

Think his was caused by a tackle last night
