Question, Do the youth teams play Angeball and if they do, do they suffer the same injuries? It is noticeable that Gray, Moore & Bergvale have avoided injury and is it just those in their 20’s + that are suffering
All 3 youngsters have not played anything like as much as most of the injured players
- Bergvall has begun starting matches regularly only in last month or so
- Gray has played more, but at start of season was more playing as a sub.
- Moore has only had a few starts.
Biggest thing though for the injured senior players is the match schedule has become :
Play Sunday
Rest Monday
Train Tuesday
Train Wednesday
Play Thursday
Rest Friday
Train Saturday
Play Sunday
So very little rest, and not much training hence a high propensity to injuries. Youth would never do this schedule. BTW Bournemouth have a lot of injuries - and they mainly play once a week
