Boubacar Kamara

[Villafirst]

Unai Emery said he doesn't think the injury to Kamara is too serious, but he's not entirely sure at the moment.

The injuries are becoming almost comical in number. Can it be purely bad luck or do we have to look at our S&C team more closely. Its not as if we play a high tempo. Its the backdrop to our season that I think will be the determining factor of missing out on Europe in the league.

Look at Citeh Manure Arse Spurs etc.
Injuries are a feature of the modern game so  it’s difficult to use as an excuse.

Here’s a theory…

Because we are allowed 5 subs, players are now told to come off if they feel a twinge whereas in the olden days of three subs they’d risk it and hope they could run it off.  I’m sure there’s something in this theory, yet our twinges seem to last two or three weeks.

I think you are probably right. Also players have scans for everything these days which I’m sure picks up minor issues when in the past they just rested for a day or two then played again.

Good theory

Tbh i dont think the kamara sub would have impacted the game as we were struggling  to put the ball in the net.

Is that was he said, on the bbc website the quote is:

 "It's bad but I don't know now."

[Meanwood Villa]

Now I'm even more depressed

[ChicagoLion]

F***

[aj2k77]

Emery said he did not know why the Frenchman had needed to come off but added: “I think it is not a lot.”

[eamonn]

Great, Emery's beginning to sound like Paul Daniels now.

[Tayls_7]

I like it.

[Drummond]

After the match he walked away fine and seemed in positive spirits. We hung around as my lad was desperate for autographs.

[Rigadon]

I'm hoping they took him off as a precaution in a game we were expecting to win without him on the pitch, and that he'll be fit for Wednesday.

Minimum 2 weeks out, muscle injury
