Doppler ultrasonography and shear-wave elastography can be used to not only diagnose but quite accurately predict onset of tendinopathy even if the athlete is asymptomatic. The cost of the tech isn't horrific but football clubs in England, AFAIK, usually don't use it until the poor footballer becomes symptomatic. I'm not even sure if clubs are using it as part of a pre-transfer medical.

Tomiyasu's injury could potentially have been caught/predicted earlier, but what do you do as a club? His playing style might mean he's just much more susceptible compared to others and only playing him once a month is pointless.

      Whoa. I sit corrected. If this is true, we should be using it on our current squad, let alone signings. Wearing players out fucks us for season after season.

          Burnwinter we stayed healthy last season. We went all way from January with no new issues. Liverpool have been riding their luck all year. We probably just need a bigger squads to deal with the s ch dulling the last few seasons.

          First starting with the Qatar World Cup, and then the increasing requirements of pre-season, and an expanding champions league - the players never stop playing. Just look at charts for young stars. By 21, they are hitting the type of playing time guys like Beckham were hitting at 25.

            Did Nwaneri pull a quad? Hopefully just cramps, but looked bad.

            Martinelli being in that list can fuck right off.

              Claudius doesn’t mean much as this is the worst Brazilian side of last 30 years. The fact that Richadlison was the poster boy of their last WC campaign says it all.

              Anyway, i don’t care about Brazil but if he’s selected it means he’s gong to return soon from injury which is good news for us.

                  Sicario2 - Tier 1 it means he’s gong to return soon from injury which is good news for us.

                  Think Arteta said he should be back a little bit before Saka, so i would assume in a couple weeks he will be training with the team again.

                    We somehow get past PSV and have Mart and Saka returning then we go all in on the CL. Madrid or no Madrid. Semi’s would be Liverpool and we can beat them over two legs.

                    Next two CL games are huge for Arteta. He can still save the season.

                      If Premier League clubs are hiring chiropractors, it suddenly makes sense to me why they can't get a grip of injuries.

                            Sicario2 - Tier 1 I really don't expect to see Saka at his pre injury level this season. I'm still a little worried about how much the injury might have taken from him. Hopefully negligible but you never know. But I think it's unlikely Saka is going to come back and be making a big difference for at least 4-6 weeks after such an injury.
