“When you are a player that has the habit of playing in a row, the risk of injury is less because you have the habit to play in a row and have had this habit over years in your career.
“But always you need to be thinking about the performance of the team, the performance level of each player, and talking with the medical staff to see which players have arrived in a good condition or not arrived in a good condition to compete, knowing that the demands of the Championship is ten games in a row. It’s true that for me the first muscle fatigue injury we’ve had now is Holmes during the game. “So of course when you know things you try to avoid some situations that happen. That doesn’t mean it was related to any type of fatigue: it was related with one action that appeared in the game that destabilised his body in that situation. (It perhaps bears acknowledging here that that was because he had gone off injured at half time against Peterborough.)Ĭorberan continued: “Then in minute three of the game he had the injury. “And if you compare this freshness value, which is one important thing when you are making decisions in the first eleven…if you analyse the prevention of the injuries, then for example the players that arrived with the less game time from the previous game to the Cardiff game was Hogg, because Hoggy only played 45 minutes in the previous game.” “But if we just analyse the physical values, it’s a surprise to see that he was achieving his highest value in our club and his highest value in his career as a player after playing games in a row.” (Sinani has started ten of Town’s last 11 games, coming on as a 56th-minute substitute against Bournemouth, on top of his international duties with Luxembourg.) “The normal thing is that if a player is too fatigued they cannot achieve his highest physical value – not talking about the football performance, but it’s true that for me Sinani had a very good game and performed really well from a tactical or technical point of view. “So it means that sometimes the more a player is playing with the team, the more habit they have to compete and give the answer to a football situation. “But he was running more than 13km in total distance, and was running more than 1,200km of high intensity running, and he achieved these values just two (four) days after the Peterborough game. “For example, the highest physical value of Sinani arrived against Cardiff, and Sinani was one player who had played the last few games from the first eleven. I’m going to give you two examples: one about injuries, one about freshness, because they’re the two things that when you make rotation you are thinking about in your mind…avoiding injuries, and provoke the freshness of the players.
Those injuries will force Corberan into at least a couple of changes, with Scott High and Josh Koroma the most likely candidates to come into the side – but the Town boss argued that the overall consistency of his selections is not necessarily to the side’s detriment.Ĭorberan said: “You always have two things about the rotation.
Duane Holmes is also set to sit out Saturday’s visit from West Brom at the very least after joining Hogg in being forced off injured in the first half at Cardiff.
