Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast.
In this episode I’m joined by Dr Andrew Mitchell to cover the thorny subject of injuries at Arsenal and in football generally. We take listener questions on topics like the prevalence of hamstring injuries and worries about recurrence; when can/should a manager overrule a player if they say they want to play; investment in medical personnel and technology at football clubs; ACL injuries in the women’s game; what clubs have to consider when they play a 15 year old like Max Dowman; and lots more.
