Twitter Rumour - Rav out for 3 months

That's a big blow. Although we are alright at CB especially with Fry close. Also Ayling has played some of his best stuff at CB if required.

I'd argue Edmondson has been our signing of the season. I mean that as in i genuinely thought he'd hardly get a kick. He's been superb. I'm not sure we'll miss Rav as much as others (Doak / McGree)

So Middlesbrough terms he'll be back ' in and around the group ' in 3. Then not fit for 4-5😕

Definitely a blow. Yet one area we can probably fill with decent champo experience/quality.
 
High-level professional football is a fast, intense game full of twisting, straining, collision, impact. The more players are honed into high-endurance power machines slamming into one another, the more vulnerable their ligaments, soft tissue etc. Slender, swervy players like Giggs, who attract fouls, will generally get injured more, but I think this 'prone to injury' thing is a red herring. All pro footballers are 'prone to injury'; some are just unluckier and some never properly recover and play half their careers with underlying injuries that are managed with injections and other treatments. It's always happened; it's their livelihoods after all. They're on game bonuses and the career is short, Nowadays though, the monitoring of these injuries is much more thorough and the medics know the damage that may ensue if someone plays half-crocked.

Even the women are getting there - 8 seconds in. Second yellow and off in 16minutes.
 
Can’t wait for Fry’s 4 games to get up to speed then breaking in the 5th.

What on earth are we doing to our defenders in training?
 
Is it too early to class VDB as prone to an injury? Seems to have picked up a few. This one looking the most serious sadly
Possibly a bit early. He's still a young lad, still developing physically, it's not unusual at his age. Still a bit concerning though. Having said that, it might be what keeps him at Boro!
