If you want readers of your post to take it seriously, can you explain why you think Buendia's injury is the fault of Villa's medical department?

Maybe the nutritionist was a bit too eager and clattered into him when she was trying to pass him the yerba mate.

We don't get any more or less injuries than any other team. Injuries happen to every team in every league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom13 Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 Buendia is a warrior and his work rate is what endears him to us. But let's not forget he is a natural creator, he is great at killer through balls, and I really think he'd have thrived with Diaby making intelligent runs in behind in front of him. As someone else said, the news is just tragic! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neutral would have no clue what to think about our squad reading this. It depends on what context the opinions are based on. sometimes folk pick up on criteria that's not being discussed, over what point is being made.....that muddies the waters. as an example......you can roll out superlatives on a players attacking skills, and then some respondee says, but he can't defend........when his defensive skills are not being raised.

Sulberto21 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We’re going to miss his tenacity and the fact he’s an absolute prick for the opposition. Not having Ashley Young’s shithousery is going to hurt but not having Buendia do that thing he does when he gets fouled and gets in the face of the opposition is going to hurt us too. Could the fact he looked a little more muscular in preseason be a contributing factor to the injury? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarium Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Maybe I am seeing patterns where they don't exist, but when 'freak' occurances happen often enough they become a pattern. Isn't the point of the sport science side of the medical department to look at player work loads and adjust accordingly to reduce injury risk? I would hate to think what our injury list would look like if this is the system working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) It does feel like we get more than our fair share of long injuries to first teamers... but I've never checked the data to see if its actually the case? Between Kamara, Buendia, Carlos, Ramsey, Moreno... that's 5 in the space of about 12 months. They are (or were at the time of their injuries) first 11 names. If its significantly more then any other club in the PL it does raise some questions... the answer of which isn't necessarily that our medical department are shit. Although whatever they did to Carlos after he went down injured definitely wasn't helping the injury. Again, not necessarily their fault if Carlos thought he had a cramp or something.

I would hate to think what our injury list would look like if this is the system working. Sport sciences aren’t there to predict when an acute injury may occur. They help prevent, but you can’t prevent when an athletes body will push back. It can happen to any athlete at any time in their career and it can happen to anyone of us at anytime for the most simple reason. Being an elite athlete is about pushing your body to its limits, this is true across most sports, but the body also pushes back when you reach those limits.

I wouls say same with buendia. He ia younger though so that will hopedully help The knee and achilles are completely different injuries though so not the best comparison. There have been some really good examples of fast recoveries from ACL knee injuries in recent years, ie. within six months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with so many Europeans forced to leave the technical quality of the Sunday League game in question would have gone down, possibly leading to more injuries from old British cloggers.
