Antonio and Wilson were both plagued with muscular injuries for a long time but seem to have solved them in recent times
On the other hand there many who were never the same again

Fowler, Owen, Torres, Sturbridge, Del Perio, Ronadlo, David Villa, Dean Ashton, Adriano, Avlaro Recoba could go on naming strikers who were either promising, or straight up world class had a spell of bad injurys and were never the same again.

Odds are not for it, players who get back to the same level are the exceptions.
 
The only tiny positive to another injury is that no one can kid themselves he might be back, properly fit etc. Not happening.

So we have to know we are in the market for a starting 9, not a backup, not an alternative to or a foil for, but a replacement.

Maybe going forward we can get Dom to be a semi-regular off the bench in the last 20 minutes, against tiring defenders he’d be effective and maybe it’s a quantity of football his body can support.

Mate that sounds like something from non league. Its no way to run a team/club at this level.
If his body cant handle it then its time to move on.

What you get when football video games don’t have the rights to use player’s names
 

Can’t we go and sign that Martin Branthwaite or whatever his name is, like Barcelona did outside the window?
