[Albion] Injuries 2024/25

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Its just that nobody ever notices when players return routinely after an injury or when they return earlier than predicted.

I have to own up to my poor memory here. Maybe because I didn't notice. But, did you? Has this ever happened to us?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

The way the last 12 months has gone injury wise I've completely revised my view on the optimum squad size we should be looking at

I'd have previously said 24ish is a good number, especially if you can back that up with some u23s who aren't far off.

Now I think 30. I think we have to assume 10 injured at any one time. 11 for the team. 9 for the bench. The other 10 on the treatment table. This should allow you to rotate a little.

Yes. O’Riley this season returned to competitive action within the timeframe expected following his injury and surgery. Pedro and JPVH also seemed to return about when predicted.

Edit: Also Verbruggen.

Ok. Have there been any which were clearly earlier?

A significant one that I remember was Knockaert at the beginning of 2017-18. Can’t think of others since, but there probably have been. As per @chaileyjem, you tend to notice notice these as much unless they’re key players.

Welbeck played a mere 7 days after being stretchered off and being admitted to hospital.
Estupinan was due back “in October”- returned a month earlier.

It's bizarre that our injury situation is a lot worse than the average

For 2 seasons in a row

I see that you know as much about statisitics as you do about football.

Tell me what I'm saying that's wrong oh wise one?

Are we not at the top of the days lost to injury league for 2 seasons now?

Be interested if anyone has an update on A MAZILU.
Looked like a good signing, but believe he had a bad injury last season.

Good news for those two. Hopefully some time on the pitch on Saturday.
But still no Weiffer and no Dunky

 

[Mancgull]

The cup game will give more time for a full recovery time for Dunk.
Not sure of the extent of Wieffer’s injury.

Strange that there’s no sign of Bart?
