It would be great if it is ‘just’ fatigue - he needs to rest ffs - I suspect Mitoma is one of those players that would run himself into the ground unless his physio/coaches literally forced him to rest though.

As long as it's only in the footballing sense, not the other stuff (allegedly*).
*Is it even alleged anymore? I honestly cant remember/keep track.
No it’s been proven now………. He is Welsh,

That one Gwent right over my head.
JFA seems to be very concerned about Mitoma's workloads. Hope there's a resolution.

Naylor says Mitoma is likely to miss the Forest game, so nothing confirmed yet, but I'd be very surprised if he plays.

He’s our player, they can f*** off.
Perhaps if all these players didn’t play so many utterly meaningless internationals the situation wouldn’t be so bad.

Yes, it is incredible isn't it. The only parallel that i can think of was about 10 years ago when in the Championship, and I recall that Sam Baldock had to play left wing! Whilst it is hard to give exact reasons as to why this is happening to us, and others, it must surely be down to the amount of matches the players have to play, as well as other possible contributory factors, such as the allegedly flimsy boots, obsessive attention to player safety, even perhaps the type of grass, silly as that sounds.

Yes, I wonder about this. It surely can't be coincidence that the teams involved in those summer tournaments seem to have so many injuries. I always thought that pre-season was about getting the body fit for the rigours of professional elite sport, and you build up your fitness level gradually. Those 3 friendlies were quite intense. Football seems to be more and more about money and the amount of sometimes fairly pointless matches testify to this.
I remember us having seasons like this before (eg. 2013/14 under Oscar Garcia, the first season at the Amex). I think it was to be expected this season which raises the question of why the squad wasn’t strengthened more in the summer or we should have kept some of the loan players we’ve let go?

Ferguson was subbed on 55' on Saturday with a hamstring injury which was iced up there and then

As Mitoma missed the Japan games I’d think it would be sensible to give him another weeks rest to get ready for the next game. Hopefully it’s nothing worse than a minor injury that needs some rest.
Another chance for Adingra to play on the left, which is his preferred side.
The big one for me is Dunk. Really hope he’s fit for Forest.

So I'm going to Athens to see the Under-21s play??
Not surprising, Mitoma and Gross are the only players that haven’t been properly rotated or rested as they’re, along with Dunk, our most important players. Gross has to be a concern as he’s now also playing internationals that he didn’t do before and he has looked a bit tired and not at his best the last few weeks.
The football authorities really need to change the football calendar. Players are playing too much.
