Tuttosport: Milan try to understand cause of 18 muscle injuries this season – a possible reason

AC Milan’s frustrations with injuries have continued into the new season and it is an issue that continues to dominate discussion at Milanello, a report claims.

As Tuttosport reports (via MilanNews), there have been 38 cases of players missing games due to physical problems such as injuries or Covid and of them 18 can be classified as muscular problems. This is obviously too many for any side, but definitely too many for a team that focuses on an intense game and has aspirations of winning the title.

There are several factors that are taken into consideration at Milanello: among these there is also a possible muscular predisposition of various players to get hurt also due to rhythms almost never sustained in their career.

The hope is that the situation will improve starting from the new year and that Pioli and the coaching staff can have some uninterrupted stretches in the second and decisive part of the season.
