Ozan Kabak injured for the Fulham game. What on earth is going on? It's getting borderline ridiculous, we can't go a game without having someone injured.

Either we are incredibly unlucky or there's some issue in the fitness department/ medical team.

Something definitely isn’t right. Nothing to do with luck.

Does anyone think that the rest of the players are playing within themselves to try and avoid injury?

{Ed077's Note - no I don't. It's not that simple to avoid injuries. Players have gotten injuries while taking out the trashbag, a basic activity. As an example Soufiane Boufal was out injured for weeks after smashing his toe in the kitchen table by accident.

BTW I don't think you were serious

Ed077, I got a better one for ya. Sathiago Canizares (former Spain GK) missed the 2002 WC by breaking his big toe? How did he do that? By trying to instinctively control his bottle of aftershave after he mistakenly dropped it. It landed on his big toe and in the process, broke it.

He would miss the WC that year and who took his place? A certain 21 yr old named Iker Casillas. Like I always said, if you don't want to get injured then, come sit next to me and watch the games on TV. It is that simple.

{Ed077's Note - well if you watch the game sitting next to me, don't complain if a projectile mission comes towards you and you get hurt🤣🤣.}

If Davies and Phillips are both fit they play in defence. I’m not sure if I can stomach another game where we see Gini, Thiago and Jones all playing together. That combination simply doesn’t work and offers zilch in terms of protection to an already fragile defence. Fab in midfield alongside Thiago and Jones.

Too funny, Ed.

{Ed077's Note - and your eardrums won't be safe either😛

Michael Stensgaard basically ending his career after dislocating his shoulder whilst setting up an ironing board springs to mind.

This injury stuff is really bizarre though. And it's largely happening to the same two positions, center back and defensive midfield. I don't think it's an issue with our training simply because van Dijk and Matip picked up injuries in matches and Joe Gomez was on England duty.

But it is understandable for someone to think that way.

It was borderline ridiculous along time ago if you ask me.
