The exact same thing happened last year with a different set of players. Never a knock, always months, nearly always requiring an operation.
So that's the same at every professional football club, all of whom have injuries? https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...njuries-de-bruyne-stones-walker-b1148397.html
It depends. Do they have the same injury problems at the same time every year? Do most of those injuries occur in training and do they almost all require operations to resolve? One year like this could be bad luck. Two years is a trend.
The fault is with the levels and amount of games the u21's and lower play imo. The old reserve leagues had game every week, now they are lucky to play twice a month. That doesn't prepare these lads for a demanding season and also doesn't give players returning from injury enough games to build fitness.
And people need to bare in mind this is Ekwahs first full season playing proper football before being too harsh to judge his inconsistency. Its not his fault hes been thrown in the deep end for a team that has no experienced midfielders so hes been expected to punch above his weight
Same as Alese mate, he came back from injury to help out last season, got injured again, came back this season and played 45 minutes for the u21's then straight back in and broke down again. He may play over the weekend after 2 half's of u21 football and people wonder why he picks up injuries
