25/26 Injury and illness thread

Have most of our injuries occurred in our stadium then? It feels like it’s been a mix of home, away and training ground rather than all happening at the Lane? But I’m just going on memory.
 
It would be interesting to correlate where we have suffered serious injuries on the pitch with where the 'trays' line up.
The data has to be broken down into home/away and type of injury (ie a Charlie Adam tackle doesn't care for pitch trays:))

Also as I posted the other day.....someone has to square the circle of why a terrible injury crisis didn't happen between 2019-2023/4?

Looking at our injury list, Bergvall, Bentancour and Kudus is likely to be available for our final five PL games. Udogie probably before.

Obviously they'll be back just in time to replace whoever is freshly injured, but having those options in our team could be vital in our push to not end up at the very bottom of the PL.

Lets hope so, all three of them would improve us.
 
What an incredible knack our club has for injuring players…


Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Bale said: "I tore my disc in my back when I was 18 at Tottenham. I played my whole career with that.

"I had a lot of calf injuries which was due to my back. I never came out and said this when I was playing because some people would say 'he's making excuses'.

"It was manageable but over time it caught up with me."

He says he was even forced to brush his teeth while standing on his heels because of the risk of injury to his calf.

"I never knew when it would come," he said, "and obviously people were like, 'oh, he doesn't look after himself' [but] I would literally make sure my calves and soleus were bulletproof.

"But again, if it misfires and it goes, there's nothing I could do about it. I'd have an injection in my back to calm it all down."
 
Those were the days… back when we still had world class attackers and having a mere 5 players out was considered a bad situation…
