Injuries and player conditioning

There is something up with the training intensity we've had quite a few training ground injuries this season and there is the issue with Gbamin which makes me think our medical department is inadequate too.
 

Maybe it's just a case of good luck and things going your way. Didn't Leicester City go through their campaign with little or no injuries when they won the Premier League? How many clubs have won the League over the years having had a load of injured first-team players missing?
Don't think it's luck.

They have been going flat out for two or three seasons now; playing twice a week.

We play two matches in a week and its rotation city for Silva...
 
Why you obsessed with them? Why even talk about them in the Everton forum?
I'm not obsessed with them, far from it.
Unfortunately I'm obsessed with Everton, which actually taints most of my weekends- as i'm sure it does for a lot of blues. I'm merely using them as a yardstick of a team fairing better injury/energy level wise with a much busier schedule. I could reference Chelsea or Leicester too.
Raw facts are that long term (Gbanim, Bernard) and short term niggling injuries (Gomes, Delph, Mina) mean that Schneiderlin and Walcott become starters, part of the reason we are fourth from bottom. Of course coupled with Silva's incompetence.

Might be something to do with the mentality of players. If you are winning games and want to stay in the team then niggly injuries don’t matter, you play through them. Also if you’re playing 2 games a week then the training is less intensive than if you play one game a week.

I agree with this. Team is winning then everyone is desperate to play. Whereas if the team is on a bad run and morale is low then players will be happy to sit out when ever they have a slight injury.
