It's been said to death by now, but sommats wrong with the medical staff/facilities/ training methods.

There's getting bad injury luck and then there's whatever this has been. Even the estimates of when people are due back are totally wrong. Matazo was done for the season, now he's playing again (sort of), Yu's season was over, now he's back. On the flip side, there have been countless examples of a couple of weeks, turning into months.

I know we don't get the full picture, but journos are told time frames from someone, how can they get it so consistently wrong? Again, this has happened before of course, but not to this degree.

People who say this make out what's happened with our injuries is the exception but a lot of clubs seem to be saying the same.
Is it not just the pressure of the athletic modern game on the body.
The answer is probably to rotate the players more often to improve recovery

It's not so much the frequency though, it's the added fact that time frames are so vastly wrong, someone is coming up with them, it's a bit concerning that it's so often way out.

Sorry dont know what you mean by out with the time frames?
 
The fact that Hirokawa was supposed to be out for the season, but is now back in training suggests something is going wrong with prognosis. It isn't the first time.
I thought the initial estimate of our for the season was based on having surgery to fix the issue but he chose to not have surgery to try get fit for the world cup....doesn't excuse the continued paucity of our medical facilities and services like

How do we compare with other CCC clubs?

Wasn't that more ti do with his parent club. They recommend surgery so would have put him out for the season but he opted for rehabilitation and yes hes due back but we won't know if the rehabilitation worked until he starts playing competitively
