Interesting to note
That two of the big clubs in terms of size and playing staff
Liverpool & man utd
Have for quite a few weeks been relying on there
Youth players to cover the bench,
Obviously there not using there sports science department to
Full advantage !
Regardless we have been blessed again to have a season
Of few injuries,
Just shows how your plans for the season can go side ways!
Squad size & Injuries

Actually, I think we have had more injuries this season. Slimani's been out for half of the season and I remember a time when we were scratching around for central midfielders.
Or perhaps it's just felt like we were watching injured players at times...
Either way, I hope we have a better pre-season this time around and I'd like to see the sports science taking a bit more of a front seat again.
(Incidentally, I'm assuming you meant to put this on the Leicester board; right now it's only on the Premier League one.)

in hindsight, yes wrong board and not an accurate statement,
Things were so chaotic earlier in the season it was hard tell who was carrying injuries and who was playing badly,
But we didn't lose 3/4 main players for long periods was my thought,
