Between the last part of last season, the summer and the beginning of this season, a good number of players have been injured.

The first was Ansu Fatithen came the loss of Andreas Christensenfollowed by Brand Bernal and in recent days those of Fermin Lopez and that of Hector’s FortIt makes sense that with so many injuries, fans tend to turn to the medical service, something they are now trying to avoid with more transparency.
