With the English premier league hotting up with Liverpool looking to bolster their advantage by over coming Arsenal in the coming match and pushing forward by 4 points. With Manchester United off in Japan for the Club World Cup, Liverpool can get ahead of their historic opposition.
Its pretty clear that Manchester United and Liverpool will both be hoping that none of their team members off. As at the rate these footballers are bought and sold for the final thing you need is a player lying on the sideline on their paraguard stretcher with weeks of physio and rehabilitation reports to get them healthy again.
Manchester United is specifically aware in this section with Saha currently nursing hamstring damage which he received in Everton’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham in November - the same game in which the great scorer Yakubu damaged his Achilles, an injury that will take the striker away from the game until the summertime.
Aston Villa appear to be looking to overcome the cartel of four on top positions in the Premier League. Strength throughout the team could prove an issue later in the battle for Villa and it’s imperative the English pair of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young, who have so far scored 17 goals between them this season, remain injury free.
As Manchester United are away in Japan I am sure Alex Ferguson will be having some sleepless nights hoping the team will get through unscathed. The huge pressure put upon players and managers frequently just builds stress which is then passed through to how they play, you can see this in injuries such as groin strain, hamstring injuries etc which is just a sign that the player is pushing to hard.
I hope that the coming season will show Manchester United in great form, giving those who adore the sport with some fantastic soccer. Im sure like me you will be watching the news avidly to find out how they do in the coming matches.
