adminJonny Evans says Louis van Gaal’s training methods are not to blame for Manchester United’s painfully-long injury list. The defender made his comeback on Tuesday as he started for the reserves in their 5-0 win against Blackburn after two months on the sidelines with an ankle injury. Evans, who said he is not yet ready for a first team return despite a 64-minute runout, blamed freak incidents for the club’s problems.
‘Players don’t get injured on purpose,’ he told MUTV. ‘There have been injuries with the odd hamstring or groin, there have been quite a few of those, but [Marcus] Rojo dislocated his shoulder and I had a fracture in my foot.
‘There were a couple of other injuries – Phil Jones has got one [shin splints] that came out of the blue. We don’t want any more injuries but what can we do about it?
‘They’re freak injuries and it’s difficult from that point of view. It’d be nice to get settled in the team — everyone in the squad wants to get settled in their position as well.’ — Daily Mail.
