I think the substitution took him by surprise he was still sat on the bench with his training top on when the number board went up
 
Hamstrings often a sign you haven't warmed up properly.

It maybe just me, but going back a long time when I played and watched City in the sixties/seventies, either in the amateur or pro game I never heard of anyone suffering a hamsting injury. Is this come about because they train harder, so they are more likely to suffer this injury, as we never warmed up as such, we just kicked the ball around until it was time to start?

Scientifically yes, the intensity of modern football and how much training etc they do plays a part. It also affects more serious injuries because if your muscles are overly fatigued and therefore not contracting at full strength, you're way more likely to land awkwardly and tear ligaments.
 
Aina seemed to be carrying a knock most of the Forest game, anyone heard anything?
 
I think the bladed boots (and softer boots) have caused a significant increase in injuries as well.

When they first came out (on one of the versions of the predators) we where pushed heavily not to use them due to the way the blades could hold onto the turf when changing direction quickly. Obviously they will have got better since then but Imo there is nothing better then a pair of adidas copa mudials or the world cups! Still to this day the best boots ever made!!
