No midweek games after Christmas until the end of Jan, then none again for ages after that. We'll be able to take a bit of pressure off of the squad and get players back to being 100%. 

Which makes a total mockery of why there's so many rounds of matches in December.

 

You squeeze in nonsense international friendlies, then play:

  • 25th November
  • 28th November
  • 2nd December
  • 7th December
  • 10th December
  • 13th December
  • 16th December
  • 19th December
  • 23rd December
  • 26th December

Ten fixtures in 31 days is a total joke. I appreciate there's Champions League in that, and we can't buy what we've needed due to FFP, but it's another example of how FFP is designed to keep the proles in their place.

Its an absolute shambles the schedule. And more CL games next season too with some midweek fixtures in January now as well for the new look group stage.

Also, this isn't a new thing.

 

Last season was bad, despite not being in European competition.

So we either have injury prone players (Wilson), are unlucky or play a style of football that is conducive to injuries. Or some unwanted combo of the three.

IIRC the only long term injury we had last season was Krafth, wasn't it? We might have had a lot of niggly injuries last season, but the amount of injuries that we've had this season and the time that the players have been out for has been absurd like.
