Was wandering around with the other players at the end of the game, not sure it is as serious as a hamstring tweak as a result. Could just have been cramp.

Well we have the players to compensate now, and we have 5 subs so any tweak you may aswell take the player off to be safe.

didn’t mention him in the team news bit of the pre match interview, so he’s probably fine. might’ve just been suffering from the heat?

3 out of our 4 Bundersliga signings are injured. Richards' was probably a freak impact injury and the fact he's played in England means he doesn't count. However Mangala and Niakhate having hamstring muscle injuries in just 3 games suggests they're struggling with the upgrade in physicality. A real shame as Niakhate has the pace we need and Mangala was brilliant first half today.

I think you've over thought this, how many British players have we had ove the years that constantly got injured? I think think this is just a weird coincidence due to signing 4 starting players from the Bundesliga.

The Bundesliga is arguably more physical than the Premier League, which prides technique instead.

This is just an unhappy coincidence. And further proof why you build a squad, not just a team.

The PL is way more intense though and that requires much more physical output and puts stress on your body.

It is probably a coincidence though, but it is a point worth making.

This is definitely bad news. We can’t have a sub-par central defence, obviously. I don’t think there’s any option but to drop another £10m+ on a replacement.

Let’s hope Mangala is OK soon as well.

I do wonder if the increase in training and match intensity is behind some of this. Richards, Yates, Mangala and Niakhate all getting injured early in the season does seem excessive.

That is not good. To play the way Cooper want’s us to play, and to get the most out of our attacking players in this league, it is crucial that we have at least a bit of pace in our back line. I suspect we may look to the loan market.
