Yes. It is not an injury that you would see happening as a result of fatigue. It can happen at anytime. However, he shouldn't have been playing in that match when it wasn't necessary.OK. So we can put this to bed. Is there anyone medically qualified on here who can categorically say whether the injury is because of fatigue or just 'shit happens'. Could it just as easily have happened on the training ground? Certainly there was no clash with another player, and no overstretching, which has ruined a few hamstrings.
I personally prefer to subscribe to the 'shit happens' theory of life. I find it too sapping to think in terms of blame.Is there anyone medically qualified on here who can categorically say whether the injury is because of fatigue or just 'shit happens'.
I couldn't agree more. We're not the only club affected; there are many similar and unnecessary injuries everywhere. Last season was extended; there was little break between the seasons; and this season, having started late, is being squashed up with a game every three or four days for weeks and weeks. OK it happens occasionally every season but there is nothing occasional about it this time around.The workload being put on players this season is going to end some careers, there will be some who will never be the same again. It's foolish to play this season in these conditions.
Every single ACL injury I have ever come across has been either impact sustained or NKC (no known cause). Not one has been as a result of overworking or fatigue. However, it is true to some degree that prevention by not exposing the area to 'over-load' is certainly reasonable in people who aren't as physically fit or active as professional sports players. In people as fit as JJ, the injury is almost always 'waiting to happen' as it were. It isn't as a result of over-use.If only there was some amazing website that would help us find information that we are not familiar with ourselves.........

Who says he was fatigued? If he was he wouldn't be playing and if he got tired during the game he'd have been taken off. He's never ever looked fatigued in any game for us.“The presence of fatigue may play a crucial role in sustaining an ACL injury”
There you have it
We flogged him into the ground, and now he’s ****ed for the next nine months
Great Undr The Cosh podcast with this in.Remember when someone shot Jon Otsemobor in the arse? No debate over what caused that injury, I can tell you.
I can absolutely assure you, fatigue would have played virtually no part in this injury.
No. It was obviously fatigue.Remember when someone shot Jon Otsemobor in the arse? No debate over what caused that injury, I can tell you.
