LOSC has performed in all areas since the start of the season, to the point of having some incredible statistical data in terms of injuries… The infirmary has been running at full capacity.
“When we have injuries, obviously we wonderadmitted Bruno Genesio at a press conference, aware that the accumulation of packages is the source of serious debates on social networks, but also among local journalists. Initially, the injuries were joint with sprains, fractures and cruciates for Tiago (Santos). When you try to analyze all that, you can make them say anything. As we had a lot of players injured for a long term, we had fewer opportunities to rotate, which meant that the players who were not injured accumulated playing time, high intensity and, at one point given, there is fatigue which resurfaces and causes muscle injuries. We can think that it is linked to that »he analyzed.
These questions do not emerge out of nowhere, but from the long list that Bruno Genesio is forced to prepare before each media appearance to avoid forgetting the slightest absence. In total, since the start of the season, he has announced 98 medical absences (excluding suspension, non-UEFA registered players, etc.).
Insane!
In addition to the very, very long absences (Samuel Umtiti and Nabil Bentaleb), it is Ismaily, Hakon Haraldsson and Ethan Mbappé who have missed the most meetings. Fortunately, certain elements should take advantage of the international break this November to emerge, like the Icelander, Thomas Meunier, even Ousmane Touré (to name a few). At least that's what is hoped. It will still be necessary to monitor the states of Mohamed Bayo and Osame Sahraoui, both of whom have withdrawn from their respective selections and are present in Lille.
