A total shambles. Who authorised him to play at Sheffield since the injury was flagged before this match - and then hasn’t trained ever since.
He has to play baleba, moder more. So, goes the same for BBB who looks quite good.

Not to mention the new fella, Ibrahim Osman who we tried to get in the January window but his agent was a bit of a dick.

Of course. This probably the 20th time this season we have had an injury that has meant we aren't gonna get europe again, or De Zerbi is leaving, Mitoma is off, Bottled something else. We're still 7th, we are coping unbelievably well, I back them. It would of been nice if we signed another winger in january but we didn't think people need to have a beer and not worry too much

That was indeed the point I was initially seeking to make, that the run of injuries in this one position of winger was not an "every season" thing, it's truly exceptional. But the bad luck was a known factor as we headed into the Jan window
I haven't plotted this, but it feels like RDZ was rotating a LOT early season even before the injury plague hit us.
As such it doesn't feel like our players should have been over-loaded because we were trying to guard against that very eventuality.

I was wondering if there’s any link to this - obvs it’s his thigh but all things connected etc etc…?Can I blame Mason Holgate for this

No. That wasn't open yet.
Don't forget the US tour in the summer. All professional athletes are supposed to have time off to heal from the demands of the season.
No doubt we'll arrange another one this summer to mess the following season up.

Strengthened what and where? FFS! The world and his wife were moaning about us not having a left back now it’s a case of not having any wide forward players. Injuries to players happen, you can’t predict when or how serious the injury might be. That’s football and unfortunately for us we have to cope with it. Had we not had any injury problems recently would you have still had the opinion that we should have strengthened further in January?

How many naturally left footed wingers have we had since March got injured?
Off to Japan this summer!

Yeh, the rotation was in part a plan to reduce the number of injuries we'd get at the back of the season.
It should have been a good plan. But luck deserted us

I mean there's no doubt it could have aggravated it.

I'm assuming by your question, none?
I don't understand the reason for the question though...
Mitoma is right footed (unless I've completely misread his style) so his injury doesn't change that

Your continued insistence that this isn't a blow comes across as quite "Lieutenant George".
I mean, I suppose I admire your positivity.
