I was just sitting here thinking about last nights game, the team selection and manager's comments regarding the team selection (enough said) and it got me thinking about our injuries...I can't remember some of the players Luzon mentioned getting injured? Does anyone know who is injured and what their injury is? Also - when is Henderson due back? We had this last season with him and his shoulder? In fact, we seem to have 'injury woes' every season.....are we just really, really unlucky or are we buying players who are prone to injury? It just seems to be the same every season.....injuries, excuses, young squad, players coming through etc.

The key is always in recovery time, which is difficult at the start of a season with Saturday/Tuesday games, and also when you have a small squad. We are suffering from both at present.
Makienok puled his hammy at Wolves, then again vs Rotherham. Jackson was injured in training this week. Igor missed one game through illness, and has been fighting to get his heel/tendon/calf back to full strength all season. Watt has taken a couple of kicks in various games, and Ceballos took a bad kick vs Hull. Luzon has mentioned all these at times but is economical with the truth when it comes to disclosing his team at press conferences.
I saw Hendo in the pub about a month ago and it looked like he would be back after the 1st International break; it now looks like it will be after the second one.
Each season is different, but being a Charlton fan they can seem the same!
Given some of the ridiculous domestic prices in the last window, I understand RD's thinking on fees and wages but the corollary is that you need adequate numbers in the first team squad.
Left wing i think RD could argue we have Moussa, Cellabos, Bergdich and Cousins who can all play there!
Right wing not so much as we only have JBG and Kennedy?
Solly, Fox and Diarra played last night, while Watt and THD were subs. Unless they all pulled up injured, your statement is piffle. Moussa is coming back to fitness so is not injured any longer. Only Hendo, Jackson, Mak, Reza, and Ceballos can be claimed as currently injured, while Igor has not been fully fit for ages.
I don't know about THD or what the matter is with Fox
Charles-Cook is injured as well
the rest are either injured or are in the recovery of injury and therefore not fully fit
City:
Caballero, Sagna, Otamendi, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernando, Toure (Evans 89), Navas (Roberts 55), De Bruyne, Sterling, Aguero (M Garcia 74)
Unused subs:
Wright, Maffeo, Fernandinho, Barker
It must be hard with this team with only these players
Currently on the injured list are Stephen Henderson, Johnnie Jackson, Simon Makienok, Cristian Ceballos, Igor Vetokele, Reza Ghoochannejhad and Regan Charles-Cook, while Franck Moussa has recently returned after nearly a year out.
All out this weekend, apart from Moussa
