But your body might not be ready for that intensity . That's why for example returning runners get so many injuries. The know they can run 5k - they did it last year. But the minor supporting muscles aren't up to speed yet. So you body subconsciously uses the bigger muscles ...ping / ouch / wow !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt all those professionals with their degrees and years of experience working at the highest level with elite athletes need some advice on what to do. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence so many players recovering from a big injury have a succession of little niggling injuries. You have to say that playing twice in two days does seem a little odd - esp when the 2nd game was a meaningless friendly He was returning from an operation, not an injury. Also it's kind of irrelevant given his operation was on his groin, but his injury was to his hamstring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa have an excellent physio and sports rehab team. Probably one of the best around Just think Bertie playing 2 days on the trott was a bit strange. Maybe he asked to play who knows.

Muscle loss kicks in staggeringly quickly. And the muscles don't regain strength at the same time - that's where the physio and rehab team comes in. There's also just damm rotten luck !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 No confirmation of the injury aside from some random article in a french magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely too random for it not to be true. I didn’t see him in that mass club video that the club put out today for Martinez and Dougie. A real shame though because I thought Bertrand changed the game on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie was there… No idea whether he is injured though, that seems to have come from a random source but why make it up?

The same French magazine broke that he was having groin surgery before anyone else so I assume they have a line to him or his agent. So I am expecting it's true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
