Ed's, it seems like we have more injuries than any other team. My question is, who is responsible for conducting players medicals prior to signing. I get that some injuries are unavoidable and occur during games/ training, but it seems we have a lot of injuries that are just due to the players physique. Can more be done? Is it just bad luck?
{Ed002's Note - The club are responsible for the medicals and the training regime continues to be the cause of many of the muscle injuries - this has all been covered before.}

LFC have covered the most km per 90m at the highest ave speed whilst using the fewest substitutions of the top 6.

Whilst some injuries may be a result of a tough training programme, a number of the key injuries, in my opinion, have not been the result of the training regime. Coutinho was contact injury, Mane was pure bad luck, Lallana twice injured on international duty, Henderson an ongoing issue with his heel. I think we have just been plain unlucky in a number of circumstances where other teams have been somewhat luckier. It happens like that sometimes. Hopefully next season we won't be as unlucky.
{Ed001's Note - if it was down to the training then the hardest trainers would be the ones suffering the muscle injuries ie Firmino. It is down to a lack of basic fitness by the players. They need to be pushed harder if anything.}

Who are our hardest trainers, I presume you mean firmino is one, I also assume hendo lallana Milner would be up there, and can also see origi mane can and wijnaldum Puting it in.

Agree with Ed001 on this. You don't see the Brownlee brothers pulling muscles regularly and they train far harder. The other month one of them nearly passed out before his muscles gave in!
