I’m very frustrated and alarmed by this. 

 

Same, seems to be soft tissue injuries almost every week but at the same time we only have 6 games before the World Cup, 2 of them are within this next 7 days. Wilson just has to stay fit for these league games, canny ridiculous we're still having to say this though tbph.

5 games now isn’t it ?

[Dokko]

On the positive side, Sweden will be picking up his wages until he's back.

Given where we are without some of our big hitters, if we can stay there or thereabouts in the table by the time of the WC, we’ll be in a cracking place to have fully fit and rested top players to come back for the push in 2023. Maybe that’s a bit naively optimistic mind 

Not at all, and a transfer window!

Fuck sake, man. Hopefully Wilson's muscles don't implode within the next 6 games then.

 

 

 

 

No chance he'll last six games. Wouldn't surprised me if he already injured himself today

[Ben]

We will need a rethink it we play in Europe next season, we can't seem to cope with a game a week just now

[Andy]

Thigh injuries can be extremely annoying like, I had one that persisted for about a year when I was younger, there's a psychological element that comes with it too as you tend to not feel it at all until you suddenly tweak it when striking the ball... every time you go to shoot you expect it to pop again.

World Cup will be a blessing in disguise for us. A well needed rest for most of our squad and for the top 6 a nerve jangling horror show of injuries and fatigue for all their international players.

 

Thankfully we'll probably only need to be concerned with Trippier, Bruno and Schar. None of them are guaranteed starters either which lessens the blow somewhat.

[gbandit]

Nerve jangling horror show of injuries, I love it 

[Menace]

We really need to audit our medical team. This is beyond a piss take now.

You do realise players getting injuries usually isn’t down to the medical team?

Think we've had several players have setbacks in their recoveries though.

 

Fair enough to ask if there's something that needs to be looked at in terms of the training programs these players are being given as they try to get back to being ready to play after being injured.

Until all our internationals get injured at WC.

I suppose with the way we're set out to play and the injuries that have come with it that tells me we're probably heading for a squad packed with quality right the way through in order to sustain the style. (Inject me with signings!)

 

The high press seems so effective right now in football you wonder why other teams don't do it, this is likely why, and not many clubs can afford to fix the squad depth issue.

Newcastle has always had rotten luck with attacking players.  Really gutting - image the front three of ASM, Wilson and Isak. We'd have won at OT with that front line.

[ponsaelius]

The bloke played 47, 44 and 41 games over the last three years at Sociedad. He was signed as a sure fire replacement for the oft injured Wilson. Not going to lie it's extremely frustrating that he's come in and immediately been crocked.

[nufcjb]

Even if he was not injured, we need another striker in January. Wood won't get goals, once Wilson is injured, plus this guy too, we are fucked. 

[duo]

Why does it take so long to get over a thigh injury?

[Pilko]

Why did this injury jinx never affect our shit players? How fucking annoying.

While this high pressing is how we want to play, I actually think the sheer injury inducing intensity of it is sort of enforced. We don't have players suited for a controlling possession in a slow methodical fashion really, we are doing well with posession but it is by imposing ourselves. We really could do with players who can slow things down now and then, when we are ahead or whatever so we don't need to be pressing all the time. What happens though often is premier league clubs think this way, sign some classy passing player and they get completely bypassed and look a fool.
