A list of potentially great players that no club should ever touch as they just spend way too much time on the treatment table.
Remember kids, any player's best attribute is availability. I'll start. Feel free to add your own.
Reece James (h/t RQ)
Ben Chilwell
Thiago
Naby Keita (nap)
Pedro Neto

If we're including all time classics then you'll do well to beat Darren Anderton after all I think the term "sicknote" first game into existence through his injury record and became his nickname.
Phil Jones and Andy Carroll another pair of thoroughbreds in this category.  |

Bryan Robson for the older gen

Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards.
Unfortunately they never seem to miss a game in their current careers. |

By:
Question is, why are players so fragile now?
General play now it's pass backwards, sideways and back to the goalkeeper and that's from being on the edge of their opponent's penalty box. I hate the modern game. |

suspect it's the significantly increased athleticism...the higher tuned the athlete the more likely for something to go wrong

Marcelino
In 1999, Marcelino transferred to Newcastle United for £5.8 million after impressing with Mallorca in Spain and Europe. A lot was expected of him at his new team, but he appeared only 20 times (all competitions) for the club in the first year and a half, being placed with the reserve team for the rest of his spell and finally reaching an agreement to leave in January 2003, having not featured for the main squad since 11 February 2001, against Charlton Athletic.[3] Marcelino also suffered several different injuries during his time with the Magpies, which stuttered his career there.[4] Scans on the affected areas were occasionally declared to be inconclusive,[5] the most serious of his injuries being a snapped finger tendon which prevented him from playing for two months.[6] |

Going back a long way here and I could be wrong,but in the back of my mind a guy called
IAN STOREY MOORE May have been the first, when players didn't seem to be injured that much. He arrived at Old Trafford in a big one move from Nottingham Forest in the 1970's, but was plagued with injuries. |

By:
Gordons a bit harsh. Isak I can understand. He definitely gets injured too often so far.
