Chelsea Ranks First with 10 Injuries... EPL Suffering From Injuries

Coach Compani says, “There is a cap on participation,” and Coach Guardiola says, “Players must come forward as a group.”

Managers of English professional football Premier League (EPL) clubs are having a hard time due to player injuries.

Some say that adjusting the tight game schedule is a way to prevent injuries.

On the 30th (Korean time), the BBC reported, citing Premier Injury, an EPL injury statistics site, that a total of 112 players from 20 EPL clubs are out due to injury. 온라인카지노사이트

First among these is Chelsea, with as many as 10 players injured.

Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana are out with serious knee injuries, Romeo Rabia is out with an ankle problem and full-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell are out with hamstring and thigh problems respectively.

Newcastle United, where Harvey Barnes and Michael Ollis are injured, Sheffield United, where Jorge Boldoc is suffering, and Crystal Palace all had 9 injuries, tied for second place in the 'injury list'.

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice suffered ankle and back injuries respectively in the North London derby, while Jurien Timber and Thomas Partey are out for a long period of time, and eight players are missing from the line-up, including William Saliba and Fabio Fieira, who are suffering from minor injuries.

The managers of each club are bound to have headaches as they are unable to operate at their normal level due to players' injuries.

Manchester United coach Eric Tenhag said, "The season was prolonged last season due to the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and we played too many games due to the FA Cup and UEFA Nations League overlapping.

“Because of this, the break period has become shorter,” he complained.

Last season, the EPL scheduled a six-week break in the middle of the season due to the Qatar World Cup, and the season started on August 5 last year (hereinafter local time), earlier than usual, and ended on May 28 this year.

The FA Cup final and UEFA Champions League (UCL) final were pushed back to early June, and the Nations League ended with Spain's victory on June 18.

Coach Tenhag said, “As the schedule increases, the burden on the players increases and they become overloaded.

Our team cannot handle the overload,” adding, “Many people have pointed out this, but the schedule only increases.”

There was also an opinion that FIFA's new guidelines on extra time also increased the physical burden on players and the risk of injury.

In accordance with FIFA's guidelines to accurately reflect injuries, substitutions, and post-goal celebrations during the game in extra time, the number of cases where game time exceeds 100 minutes is increasing.

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane criticized it as “dangerous to physical and mental health,” while Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne said, “It makes no sense.”

EPL managers each proposed their own solutions.

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, who is in a better situation with three injured players, argued that the players should join forces and request a change in the schedule from FIFA and UEFA.

He said strongly, "Guardiola is not necessary, but he cannot play without the players.

Coordination of the schedule is up to the players.

Only the players can change something."

Burnley coach Vincent Company proposed limiting each player to a maximum of 60 to 65 games per season, but Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino viewed the 'play cap' as a realistically difficult alternative.

Newcastle coach Eddie Howe said, "The burden on players participating in all competitions and international matches increases.

We need to give players rest at the appropriate time."
