What A Lot of Injuries...What A Strange Coincidence

On Wednesday, there are a bunch of meaningless international friendlies. These are the kind of matches that Premiership club managers hate and don't want their players involved with. They would much prefer that their players avoided the risk of injury and were training with their own clubs.

So, it is quite a coincidence that a large number of big name Premiership footballers have acquired injuries ahead of these friendlies, isn't it?

England have lost 8 players - with a variety of excuses ranging from calf to groin injuries. van Persie has pulled out of the Holland match, Alex Ferguson tried to withdraw Ronaldo from Portugal's game but failed ...the list goes on.

Far be it from me to suggest that maybe these players aren't as injured as their managers thought they were, but I confidently predict a few miraculous recoveries in time for the next round of Premiership football matches.
