Injuries

This is by no means an original post but it seems to be a major issue for the club, on a permanent basis.

Does anybody happen to know if any stats are available about injury lists (Championship clubs especially)? Naturally we all get wound up with the problems within our own club. Just wondered if perhaps we all suffer similarly?

I dont know how accurate these are?

Thanks Sheep. Interesting especially the “fishy” one. As you say difficult to read into exactly but seems to be quite scatter gun luck wise. Portsmouth and Stoke seem particularly affected. Whereas Millwall, Norwich and Sheffield United don’t have many issues.
I suggest that future scouting, when listing requirements, has robustness somewhere near the top. (Like Richard Kone).

There must be data out there, but I reckon it must be professional paid for service, like opta. JS did say recently that going into the NY we the top end of the injury table with 90% of our squad fit.

I was told once by a yoga expert that there is no excuse for hamstring injuries in football if you do the right stretches. She loved her football and used to laugh at how some ballers would attempt yoga stretches during the warm up and get them all wrong.

One thing is for sure, we must be top of the table for hamstring injuries.

WTF!!
