When they have both just come back from injury in a tough game? No.

Would you play one or neither, which one, why?

He is a very good manager. Got his team sprinting only when they've set themselves up correctly. EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE.Looks like Slot has ratcheted down their sprinting since the start of the season, to compensate for having some older players in the squad who cannot gegenpress like they used to back in Klopp’s heyday.

Sounds like surgical theatres are going to need a revolving door to cope with all these footballers’ hamstring repairs.
Geoff Scott is a high-performance specialist who has worked in the Premier League for 20 years, most recently as head of medicine and sports science at Tottenham Hotspur …Statistically, one of the predictors of a future hamstring injury is a previous one, so that’s something we never like to see because it’s likely it won’t be the only one.
Hamstring injuries are the dominant injury in the Premier League. They make up about a quarter of all injuries. Over the past couple of years, there has been a huge increase in numbers, but the bigger thing is that the scale of the injuries has been much worse. Where it used to be a lot more common that it was two to four weeks out, there are a lot more players now suffering from high-grade injuries that are keeping them out for six weeks or even longer.

Hopefully our January signings will hit the ground running, like Kulusevski and Bentancur did 3 years ago, so the gaffer doesn’t have to keep red zoning his exhausted players.

I find this very interesting and worrying, TBF. Surely there's a correlation between the occurrence and severity of hamstring injuries, and the increasing physical strain on footballers from more and more games. For the fast paced, PL it's an even worse combination, IMO.Sounds like surgical theatres are going to need a revolving door to cope with all these footballers’ hamstring repairs.

Only speculation from my side (I didn't read the article
), but would love to see research on this.

I keep telling you, eventually we will have to transition to 2 halves of 45 mins with 11 subs at half time.
That's the only way to fit in all these competitions, the expanded UEFA Comps, the Club World Cup league thing, the "fly to Australia the day after the season Cup" and the "fly to Korea the day before the season cup" and expanded World Cup etc.
Nobody wants to hear it, nobody will agree with me until it happens in 2044...

It doesn't actually save much wear only playing a half. Especially when you factor in all the warm up and down etc.
A 55 game a season limit for players (50 club games, 5 internationals) is more sensible. A backdoor way to kill international friendlies and pre-season tours.

Yes it does. All red zones.

Which equates to about an extra half kilometre of ground covered per player each match.
Monitoring the workload
Medical staff and those in the Sports Science departments are also playing an increasingly important role behind the scenes.While we as football fans largely welcome the ball being in play for longer and are not wholly concerned by the prospect of matches going beyond 100 minutes, it does place a greater physical burden on footballers.
The physical data from this 2023/2024 campaign clearly indicates that players are running much further. Until this point, an extra 6.8km is being covered by players in each match they play compared to last season.

No wonder some teams resort to the dark arts of time wasting to run down the clock, would like to see what our current figures are but no surprise to see Barcodes under Howe waste the most minutes.

To the losing team, it’s time-wasting. To those leading, it’s game management. But there's one thing that's not in doubt: it's getting worse.

I shan’t be counting my chickens (pigeons) with Richarlsion tbh, what with his return from injury in October only last a couple of weeks before his hamstring gave way yet again. Sadly those type of injuries tend to accumulate and with his history there’s every risk he’s another Sessegnon.
Hopefully Moore’s immune system has fully recovered from whatever he contracted in the autumn and he doesn’t succumb to that sickness bug which ravaged our squad last week.
