Is it just me, or does it feel like we’re constantly watching the same loop play out every single season? You get all excited about a new talent or a massive signing, everyone talks about how they're going to be the missing piece of the puzzle, and then—boom—the injury bug hits. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch.
I feel like we spend more time discussing recovery timelines and "fitness concerns" than we do actual tactics or gameplay lately. It really kills the momentum of a season when you can't build any consistency because the core group is constantly in and out of the lineup. It makes you wonder if the physical demands of the modern game are just becoming unsustainable for these players.
Do you think clubs are overworking their squads, or is this just the new normal for high-level athletes?
