2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Taking meds after makes sense if you've had a knock, but my question was on nymzee saying they're on pain killers while playing. Unless I misunderstood

One example:

Terry went through a year of daily painkiller injections for Mourinho

John Terry has revealed that he required a daily course of painkiller injections for an entire season under Jose Mourinho because the then-Chelsea manager was so desperate for him to play.

Oh haha, well I don't know which they're on, but lots have injections etc. pre-game.

I was completely unaware of that. Like football trainspotters then.

Cahill played on a bunch of meds for us towards the end of his career I believe, too.

It’s not, but he’s seeing something no one else is by constantly bringing on Maupay and not Simms. I just cannot for the life of me see what Maupay offers.

I know,Maupay actually looks like someone who has won a raffle in the goodison crowd to run on the pitch and play for us

Thank you for the source. Always Good to have something to back up comments. A thing that I would comment on (and only a polite comment, not disagreeing as I have no sources) is the part about his broken toe. Wouldnt painkillers make sense to help that? Reckon Jose was probably wrong playing Terry though his injury. Probably being pedantic, so if I am apologies, but "most" doesn't sound right to me.

Well yes he's taking the painkillers for his toe, but lots of players have injuries they can play through with injections.

Plus people break their toes so much more than you'd think.

Dyche on Dominic Calvert-Lewin:

"...he (DCL) felt his groin. It’s a tight groin, but tight groins can lead to damaged groins, so I had to make a call on it, simple as that."

Players have been playing pumped with pain killers since I started watching the game in the 60s

Fair enough man, and fair enough. I appreciate the information

Good call in my opinion

Bet he was fuming he had to make a sub with so long to go.

Suppose its just news to me as I played junior league and never felt anything. And seen Sunday league but all they were on was tinnies. No injections.

It's like that in all physically tasking pro sports - it's part of the reason why you see players retire and develop limps or other pains cuz they're off the constant meds.
