Unnecessary Injury? Are some injuries necessary? How do we know Saliba wouldn't have sustained a similar injury in his next game if he had skipped that one, may have exacerbated an underlying strain.Saliba is intimately linked to how we've fared over the past three seasons. The failure to recall him from his loan in January cost us European football two seasons ago, his unnecessary injury last season cost us the league. No surprise that this season when he's been fit and available throughout we're taking this to the wire.
