Yea I get what you are saying. But I wonder if fans of other teams feel the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only really remember a 2 month spell out of the last 3 years when we’ve had everyone available. Any other time we’ve had 3+ first team players out on a weekly or monthly basis. I don’t think it’s good enough tbh The NFL recently had to investigate the type of turf used at the Giants/Jets stadium due to a significant amount of serious injuries happening on it. Wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if our board took a cheaper option to save money without reviewing the wider picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot 21,150 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Galatasaray midfielder Arda Turan will miss his side's Europa League play-off against Rangers through illness but has tested negative for Covid-19. The 33-year-old former Barcelona player is suffering from flu-like symptoms and a high temperature and will not travel to Glasgow for Thursday's match. Rangers' "major doubt" for the game is striker Cedric Itten, who has picked up a knee injury in training. They are hoping to reach the group stage for the third consecutive year. The Ibrox side sit top of the Scottish Premiership, a point ahead of reigning champions Celtic but having played a game more, after Sunday's 5-1 win at Motherwell. Gerrard signing hopes could hinge on Euro progress Galatasaray are second on goal difference in the Super Lig after their 0-0 draw at home to Fenerbahce - a game in which Arda was substituted after 70 minutes. Victory for Steven Gerrard's side could help Scotland overtake Turkey in the Uefa coefficient rankings and secure an automatic Champions League slot for the Premiership winners. While the Ibrox manager's priority was progress that could give him the finances to further improve his squad, he pointed out that Scottish clubs had "worked ever so hard" to try to improve the coefficient. "I think we've played our part, so I'm very proud of the players and what we've done," he said. "I think it will be a big boost to the country - something that we haven't had for a long time." Team news Itten's possible absence through injury comes at an inopportune moment given the Swiss striker scored his first two goals since his summer switch from St Gallen at Motherwell. Rangers' options are strengthened, though, by the return to training of Ryan Jack and Brandon Barker. However, the game comes too soon for fellow midfielders Joe Aribo and Glen Kamara. Galatasaray have stressed that Covid tests carried out on staff and players were negative, however captain and goalkeeper Fernando Muslera misses out as he continues his recovery from a broken leg. Marcelo Saracchi, the Uruguay left-back on loan from RB Leipzig, and Turkey midfielder Emre Akbaba are also out, while Sweden winger Jimmy Durmaz is another absent from the travelling squad. What do we know about Galatasaray? It is the first time the two sides have met since 2000, when Galatasaray prevailed 3-2 at home and drew 2-2 in Glasgow in the Champions League group stage. However, they are not the force they were. Although they reached the group stage of the Champions League last season, the 22-time Turkish champions finished sixth domestically, meaning there is a bit of pressure on manager Fatih Terim as he enters the fourth year of his fourth spell in charge. What they said Rangers manager Steven Gerrard: "Galatasaray are a good team, they've got fantastic players and a good coach and have big experience on the European stage. "They will probably be everyone's favourites, but we are going into this fixture in a good place and we're in good form at home. We have no fear, but we have huge respect."

We’ve always had injury issues, as far back as I can remember people have been saying there must be something wrong in training or blaming the surfaces, back to the days of Oleg Kuznetsov, Sebastian Rozental I remember people where saying this.

Be a long season if it keeps up at this rate. Frustrating, as Aribo was looking like he was coming on to a game, tail end of last season and beginning of this. Think he can be a difference maker for us this season now he's bulked up a bit and settled in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 90s, we had a terrible run of bad injuries the story was that the club doctor was a retired GP in his early 70s and wasnt picking up conditions he should have, and was past it.

I put the injuries down to bad luck not what we play on Astro turf whether on football or NFL should be banned. The injuries that occur on those surfaces are ridiculous.
