Well we have had 8 more injuries than the nearest team!! not as many long term but Fuck me this is depressing to look at!

Yes, but moneybags City have 300 first team players to chose from and have £500 squillion pounds (oil money) to spend, blah blah blah..................

prem league squad of 25 players sees 47 different injuries? Would be interesting to see how many are squad or B list injuries

I think we changed late last season, but maybe these things are cumulative and wear down susceptible bits of some players bodies over time.

That thought crossed my mind too, our upturn in injuries seemed to coincide with our move to the CFA.

I remember them discussing more frequent injuries to modern footballers on BBC 5Live recently. An agreed comment among the ex footballers was made that the construction of a lot of modern pitches were too hard, this was the sacrifice for them looking so good.
It was said it was "more like playing on concrete"!
Perhaps the new training pitches have a similar construction?

The same type of surface that's on the Etihad pitch is used in the CFA.

It sounds obvious for a club like us, but I read a good article about Leicester having a cryogenic facility, oxygen therapy and some radical forward thinking capabilities. I haven't heard anything about what we do, but hopefully more than a magic sponge, and better still if it's somewhere we invest as heavily as we do in our academy.

We've got all the bells and whistles - there was a thing about it around the time the Academy opened - all state of the art. Sod all good it's done us this season though.
"The building that houses City's first-team squad contains a hypoxic chamber where players can run at altitude or in extreme temperatures, a hydro-therapy area for treating injuries and even a hydro treadmill with underwater cameras to monitor a player's movement. "

All that is good stuff but it's not exactly ground breaking, whereas Leicester's cryogenic facility is. If we haven't gone down that route is like to know when we will. We are making huge progress but we haven't nailed it in every area off the pitch. I recently visited the Nou Camp and then took my boys for the Etihad tour. There was no comparison, it was Disney vs Gulliver's World.
