This is really significant. I heard some stats on the Athletic podcast about ACL and hamstring injuries this season. They’re through the roof across and the big leagues, and the general consensus is that it’s a result of ‘21 Euros ‘22 WC and 24’ Euros meaning a load of players have ran themselves into the ground.

Think Slot has tweaked things and built on the changes Klopp had brought in during 23/24.
Previously the 17-23 sides became based around Robbo and Trent getting forwards and the midfield three basically existed to win the ball and recycle it.
Possibly something too dependent due to Keita never kicking on and Thiago sadly loving an injury.
That rebuild which saw in 2023 the entire midfield overhauled with Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, and Endo all rock up. Which is our usual starting midfield and Endo who has basically been our closer this season to use baseball parlance.
So now the full backs are more full backy so to speak, obviously Trent offers a lot with his passing and set pieces.
Now comes the hard work of them upgrading the squad and moving on players. Think getting Virgil and Mos contracts sorted was a big bonus, but succession planning for them will be needed.
Think we'll need a new left back, a right back (if Trent leaves), a centre back (can't see us letting Konate run his contract down), a defensive midfielder, and a striker.
