It's astonishing looking at our numbers when compared to Juve and then matching it to the league table.

Even if for the sake of argument, we go in with a conservative amount of 10 matches missed per player per injury, we've had almost 22 sad incidents in these 7 or so months. (IMG:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the San Siro pitch has deteriorated beyond insanity. A total of 372 matches have been missed by players from both sides, and we still have a quarter of a season to go. (IMG:

I don't buy it that it's the San Siro turf causing these issues. The San Siro turf has been cr@ppy for years. And I haven't seen these level of injuries I don't think ever in my life time. Maxi Lopez played a single game at the Juventus stadium, supposedly state of the art pitch where none of their players have gotten injured, yet he's out injured again. There is something fishy, but it's not our home turf, it's something else, whether that is the training program being used, the treatment to injuries, the diets, etc, etc.
All that I know is that Galliani and co. cannot ignore this issue, we simply cannot go into next season with even the slightest possibility of this happening again
