@NSC_Stats @benwright That’s only 10 Bundesliga games, 3 of which were cameo subs. Hard to really gauge anything off of that small of a sample size.

World Cup veteran Elias Saad was excellent in the 2. Bundesliga last season Gets in the box, safe passer, and decent chance creator. Excellent ball carrier MLS is a step up, but he should be a good contributor His Bundesliga stats are a concern

@rajsinghchohan Pride of MLS!

Mbokazi’s recovery defending has been unreal

@danielstorey85 Stop 20 of all random places in Tennessee! I’d be happy to treat you to a meal though

@LeN17ah Interesting. I know I always hear of certain Drs when it comes to surgeries, I kinda always assumed they had a form of subcontract agreement. Is the data collection more of a preventative process? Sorry for the questions, but your threads were the first time I thought about it.

@defranZac There are differences yes. The main being that the US normally focuses more on a data collection approach, which priorities S&C whilst in Europe, we're much more mechanical and focus on therapy. The US are more likely to use external experts. Europe likes to keep it internal.

Also forgot to mention, I think there's a possibility that his meniscus injury at 20, may be a cause for why Kudus has had hamstring and ankle injuries post. But I ran out of space. Basically it goes back to the kinetic chain again. Linking vulnerabilities etc.

@LeN17ah So, as an American, we see players have similar injuries across the board that Spurs have had. All in similar explosive sports. ACLs can 6-8 months. Muscle tears/strains measured in weeks. Ankles in weeks. Why do think there’s such a difference in recovery in the two countries?

I could have gone into more detail, but this thread is already long af and I mainly did it because I'm a dork and just find it interesting. If you made it this far. God bless ya love x

Destiny Udogie. A breakdown on why he can't keep fit, the mechanics behind it, what injury is most likely causing all the setbacks and how the Spurs medical team can 'ATTEMPT' to fix it:
