Ryan Sessegnon

[Statto]

That's the second player we have been rumored to sign and a week later he breaks down injured

They're wanting to beat Omar these days

Well that’s one rumour off the list.

I'm thinking at this stage we should show an interest in players we actively wouldn't mind seeing pick up an injury (Garnacho would be my first pick) - shame about Sessegnon as I liked the idea but his hamstrings seem to have been replaced with Liquorice lace.

At least it's cheaper if they get injured before we buy them

just came back barely one week into preseason and he's already injured, now just waiting for hudson-odoi to follow suit with his achilles injury and then forest can stopped being linked with these 2 , at least until january.

I wonder if playing so much football at a really young age has contributed to his injury problems now?

He was probably still growing when he was starting for Fulham every week.

I appreciate diets, coaching etc are all far more developed than when I wwas a lad, but the human body isn't that much different.
Look at other young prodigies, in football and in other sports: so many find themselves suffering from niggling and even serious and often life-long injuries from unscrupulous clubs, coaches, even parents, pushing them beyond what the human body is capable of sustaining at a young age when it is still forming.
I think one of the worst examples outside of football is Radacanu: pushed too hard too early and as a result she is now missing a whole year following several corrective operations to hands, wrists, ankles, feet...
Young prodigies need careful and sensible management.

It is a timely reminder when everyone seems so convinced Hudson-Odoi is worth the risk.

Still hasn't really changed my mind, I was never keen on Sessegnon anyway.

Yes possibly which is why I don't particularly feel most teen players are ready to play full time first team football even if they're good enough.

In fact, we only need to look at how much a slightly older player in Brennan has changed since he came back from loan, he is certainly bigger now.

A lot of the fitness issues Andy Murray had (and Jack Draper also has now) are because they were/are still growing when young pros. Murray didn't stop growing until about 19 and Draper shot up about a foot and a half at fifteen to 6'4 (there's a BBC feature of him with McEnroe at 14 and he's very much a little kid there) and with the training they need to play hours of tennis it isn't always good for them to be growing and putting that effort in. I guess Holger Rune and Carlos Alcaraz, who are only just out of their teens, are outliers.

I think they said Michael Owen's hamstring issues were similar, in the end, though wasn't that knee injuries which ended his career in the end...

Wasn’t meant like that as it would be silly to suggest because one got injured the other will. However, it does highlights (or brings back into focus) the risk of players with repeat injuries and how quickly it can turn on you
