Is there something wrong with our strength and conditioning or medical department. I know we play a high tempo energetic style but too many injuries is it our style that’s the problem or the medical / physio or just bad luck I’d love to know some thoughts on this

Cheers.

There has been nothing high tempo or energetic about our performances for the last few months but we are still getting injuries.

We just have a number of players who are all injury prone.

I have alluded to it before but I just think that Jota doesn't take care of himself very well and hence, doesn't recover well enough after games.

@Drac, would you care to share any medical evidence you might have to back up your statement?

Hi WDW3. Sorry for the late reply. Was still mourning the loss last night.

Anyway, it's just my opinion based on my past experience as an athlete during my university days. Our coach then always stressed to us that recovery is just as important, if not more, than the actual training and competing that we do. And I have seen first hand my other team mates suffering injuries because they did not do their recoveries properly.

For Jota, it has been documented that he is also a good Fifa/ EAFC player and has been known to play games late into the nights even when we have a game later the next day or when we had a game earlier in the day. That to me indicates that he isn't taking his recovery seriously and hence, is contributing to his own injuries.

To be fair to him, a few are impact injuries but most are muscular which can be usually prevented with proper training and recovery.
