No you’re not the only one.

To be honest he will probably be too!

Seriously!!

Yes. Any time a player gets injured these days, I'm worried about their recovery. PTSD from a few years ago when everybody was getting injured and never returning without breaking down again.

I still think we made Estevao bulk up too quickly. Hamstring and similar injuries are more common when players are forced to gain muscle quickly.

I'm more worried about where he'll play once Enzo is shoe horned back in.

Getting some uncomfortable Michael Owen vibes. Hopefully it is an isolated situation as part of growing and it doesn't now set in like it dogged Owen during his career

I think Reece is closer to Owen than Steveo. James is still not back to his best and still can't play 2 games a week. He was once dominating at RB remember.

Now if Estêvão's hammy breaks down before Christmas and puts him out for months then yeah it could happen.

It got nothing to do with bulk up. He was not ready for pl. He got hammy issue in training, he got hammy issue the moment he was given back to back games. All of these are normal stuff.

You can't know that. One of the most common injuries with quick muscle growth is muscle tears. Why would he get a hamstring injury just because he played 2 games back to back? You think it's weird for a player at 18 years of age to play 2 games in a row?
