Sicknotes

Emil Smith Rowe unfortunately, seems like another Jack Wheelchair

Varane
de Bruyne

Michael Owen towards the end of his career. hamstrings were goosed

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

Jonathan Woodgate (sadly as was a real player)

darren andeton a great shout

Oxlade Chamberlin a shocking omission imho

Big Duncan Ferguson from the past - not sure if it was the treatment table, prison or bans but he seemed to have every christmas off

Darren Anderton was sicknote

kieron dyer Was made of class
Andy Carroll  Freddie Lundberg at West Ham too
All loved treatment room at Upton Park

jack Wilshire was always injured

so was pogba

Louis Saha

Luke Shaw in contention

hazard up there to

Calvert Lewin

Woodgate great shout, totally agree was a class player read the game brilliantly

some good shouts there brentford

Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards.

Unfortunately they never seem to miss a game in their current careers.

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

never see a fatty pull a hammy running for the bus...

Very true that chec out all the beer bellies wobbling about on a Sunday morning, all get through the full 90

Wilshire, nuff said

Is this the 'Without Anthony Martial' market?

Honourable mentions go to Jack Wilshire and, further back, Kieron Dyer.

Harry Kewell was right up there with best crocks

Lisandro Martinez

Matip

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]

Lisandro Martinez


Sounds like hes out for the season at least. When he calls himself the butcher does he mean of himself?

Mason Mount about due a mention...

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.

gordon and isak at newcastle

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

has anyone mentioned Daniel Sturridge, apparently made of crisps, and always injured
