Daniel Sturridge

[Shaggy]

It'd be difficult to ever top Abou Diaby. That man was born injured.

Ha. Good call.

[little dave hedgehog]

We have to surely consider getting shot at some stage.

you go ahead, i think i'm fine as i am.

[Fan65]

Ha. Good call.

Harry Kewell?

[Shaggy]

Harry Kewell?

Another good un. God we've had some crocks. Redknapp as well.

Ledley King, Darren Anderton, Kieron Dyer, Woodgate, Diaby, Owen Hargreaves, Wilshere, Aurelio, Agger, Sturridge, Kewell, Redknapp.....they're the worst surely.

[meffin]

Ledley King may be the ultimate- couldn't play 2 games in a row, could he

[ronanm]

Andy Carroll must be there or thereabouts at this stage

[Slinky Skills]

Wonder if anyone's carried out a study on the most injury-prone players ever.

It'd be difficult to ever top Abou Diaby. That man was born injured.

Don't forget about Phillip Deggen!

[Shaggy]

****ing hell, Degen!

Wilshire has to be up there too. Something like 86 games missed since 2010, which equates to something ridiculous like 800 days out injured since breaking into the first team!

A new study by physioroom.com, which has analysed the total days missed by Premier League footballers due to injury.

In goal for the XI is Craig Gordon, who suffered a serious knee injury while with Sunderland. (913 days)

Ahead of him, in defence, is Tony Hibbert, who missed plenty of game time with Everton (1280 days),former Tottenham captain Ledley King, who was famously hampered by knee problems (1318 days), Newcastle's Steven Taylor, who has amassed (1205 days) on the sidelines, and former Spurs and QPR full-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto (752 days)

The midfield is made up of Abou Diaby - the player with the most days out injured in the team (2156 days) - Rosicky and Owen Hargreaves, whose knee problems affected his career at Manchester United and Manchester City. (1188 and 1179 days)

In the forward positions, Walcott, who last season returned from a serious knee ligament injury (1030 days), is joined by Victor Anichebe, who missed 11 months after a bad tackle in 2009 (1096 days), and former Stoke forward Mamady Sidibe (932 days).

Any denial or confirmation on him being injured?

Any denial or confirmation on him being injured?

We know he's injured, not sure how bad. He was supposed to back this game, now it's the next one, **** knows what's going on.

In short.......confirmation

[JudgeRed]

I could be wrong but Sturridge IMO is symptomatic of a certain modern type of player that's been wrapped in cotton wool from an early age. Contrast that with a player like Suarez who you imagine has to be dragged off the pitch.

[dom9]

Or compare it with any player through the ages who's career has been blighted by injury.
