In this episode I'm joined by Dr Andrew Mitchell to cover the thorny subject of injuries at Arsenal and in football generally. We take listener questions on topics like the prevalence of hamstring injuries and worries about recurrence; when can/should a manager overrule a player if they say they want to play; investment in medical personnel and technology at football clubs; ACL injuries in the women's game; what clubs have to consider when they play a 15 year old like Max Dowman; and lots more.Follow Andrew on BlueSky - @arsenal-phd.bsky.socialThis is the blog post I reference in the beginning - https://arseblog.com/2025/09/handbrake-off/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog – Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
