why do we get so many? is it basic unfitness? poor training? last season the pitch didn't help but seems ok this time.
why do we sign so many will dodgy fitness records? and are our medicals doing their job?
chair was out for near all of last season and out already . if we get a fit squad we could have a real go at a top 8. |  | | |  |

Is Dembele full training?! I’ve missed that. I thought he was out until much later this year.
Also, there’s a nuance with a number of our players as to whether they are fit to start and do 90. We need that improving so Stephan doesn’t have his hands tied. |

Although it says “close to”. So I guess that could mean anything. However I didn’t think he’d be back before January but sounds like he may be closer than that.
On 90 minute fitness, I think it’s only Cirkin (of the fit players) that can’t yet do a 90 minute game. Poku, Kamara and Madsen have all come through that. | | | |

He wasn't named in our Championship squad, so he won't be back until January. | | | |

That being the case, it's strange Stephan said none of the players' injuries were serious and suggested they'd return soonish. |  | | |

Yes. You’re right. Very odd they didn’t include him. [Post edited 20 Sep 15:22]

There are currently 10 teams with the same or more injuries than us. Pompey worse with 10. |  | | |

As in players unavailable? Or does that factor in players who’s minutes we’re managing making them unavailable to play a full 90 but technically able to be in the squad?
Even accepting that for what it is, we’re bottom half still. After the past two years.
If we have any ambition and any standards it just needs to be accepted we have had an injury problem for 2 and a bit seasons now, and rather than try to argue there is no problem, we focus on the fix.
Hopefully, behind closed doors, that’s what the club are doing. And if it doesn’t improve this season, surely you have to act with regards to who leads that whole function?
Stephan is doing a good job. We need to give him the tools to succeed. |  | | |

It's not odd at all if he can't play until January.
He can always be named in the squad for the second half of the season. | | | |

I'm fairly sure we have only named 24 players in our squad. Thereby, keeping the option of adding a free agent or if not presumably Dembele could be added, if fit, before January. | | | |

Well if he’s close to full training now, would be amazing if he wasn’t available in December and we’ve only named 24 players as said above | | | |

Please, where have you seen that Dembele is close to full training? All I've seen is that he should be available to play come January. Of course, that might have been posted online by someone rather than by the club & I missed an update.
Like you, I would have expected him to be named if there was a chance he could play in 2026. | | | |

100% agree. That last part is especially bang on. Fingers crossed we can be ready to go with few more back come West Ham. | | | |
