Tottenham Star Lambasts FA After Joe Gomez’ Injury

He’s right, you know.

With yet another onslaught of injuries to add to the the already
ridiculously long list, it’s probably well worth spending some time
listening to footballers themselves take the powers that be to task
for the absolute chaos of this season. Tottenham’s Eric Dier had a
lot to say to the Daily Star after watching Joe Gomez succumb to a knee injury during
training with the England team last week.

“I’ve watched a team-mate of mine three days ago injure himself
– by himself – in training. It was terrible,” Dier said this
weekend. “It’s really difficult to understand [what’s happening
with scheduling]. Something needs to be done around the scheduling.
It’s confusing. It’s really not nice seeing people getting
injured.

“Almost weekly, you are seeing multiple injuries in the Premier
League. I don’t know what the stats are – but I’m sure they’re up
from before because it seems like it’s constantly happening.”

We’re two months into the season and Liverpool

“I don’t understand why they aren’t trying to help our teams in
Europe to be in a better position to perform in the Premier League
– and protect the players’ welfare,” Dier added. “If you look
across every other league, they look after clubs. I don’t
understand why we don’t in England.”

Since Dier’s comments were made, both Andy Robertson and Jordan
Henderson have sustained injuries during international duty. We
still don’t know about the extent of both their injuries, but the
fact that this keeps happening is getting ridiculous.
