He's 31 years old, has a game style that's susceptible to injury & looking at his recent injury history, in the last 3 years, prior to joining us, he'd missed 177 days, meaning he'd been out about 16% of the time, in the last 2 years, prior to joining us, 121 days, about 16.5% of the time, & in the last 450 days, before joining us, 96 days, 21% of the time.
In comparison Daryl Murphy has missed 120 days, through injury, or about 5% of the time, in the last 6 years, & Joe Lolley has missed 138 days, or about 9% of the time, in the last 4 years.
The figures may be flawed, as they are lifted from a website & I'm purely speculating on this, but given Soudani has already had a 42 day absence here & is now deep into a 2nd long term injury with us, that's going to stretch past 160 days, it does make you wonder.
We need to be doing our homework better don't we?
Byram was always an injury risk, so was Dawson and now possibly Soudani too.
