Anyone else noticed how skinny Asamoah looks now compared to his LWB days under Conte? He used to be pretty bulked up before, maybe he's lost some weight to lessen the pressure on his knees.

It doesn't work that way. It's actually better to have more muscle especially in your legs as they help to take some of the load away from the knees.

But losing some muscle when injured will always happen. You'd be amazed how much muscle can shrink in a month with total lack of activity.

Looked fine.

WE should really prevent him to go to the African cup of nations. He should have a proper pre season to get back to his former self.

AFCON is in early 2017 anyway, so it won't affect his preseason. Hopefully he'll just stay fit until the summer and get back to full fitness.

I lost my hopes with him.. Way too much injuring prone... Lets loan him back to udinese for one year and put the sale tag at the end of that season

There's a depressing thought. Imagine spending years at Juve as a starter. You get repeatedly injured and get sent back to your previous team. Especially because of Udinese's colours it really would feel like a second rate Juventus.

we totally should do that with Isla.

Isla's contract is up at 2017 so no point loaning him anymore. We'll probably end up giving him up for free.

Don't be mean man.. Everytime I heard or read that name is like a "Yo mama..."

Are you sure? if you follow NBA, Lebron James lost 25 pounds last summer, and one of the reasons behind it was to protect his knees better against swelling and so called osteoarthritis.

I can see the benefits for someone like Lebron who is massive in size and weights a lot but most football players don't really have any excessive fat in their body to lose. Football pitch is also a lot more forgiving compared to a basketball court and doesn't require as much jumping.

In football if you come back from a summer break overweight you're going to have the world of pain in terms of training for the next few weeks. It's just something that is not allowed in the sport so I'd assume if you'd want to seriously lose weight it would take its toll on the muscle volume which I don't see beneficial. If you look at football players most of them have quite big legs compared to rest of their body and there is reason for that.

ISLA BEEN PLAYING DM for half a season lol

 

[Hydde]

good for him. Let him continue doing that away from here

 

[adRHCP]

Sell

 

[zizinho]

Wasnt fit for long

feel really bad for him

 

[digitalbash]

He had a good game given his situation

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Another injury. This time hacked down by Abate. Let's see how long he's out for now. Might need to cut our losses with him soon, as sad as it is, because I really like him as a player.

Thank you for your service Asamoah. It's time for you to leave. We just can't afford to keep players who's just a few days away from another injury every time they return. Not with the new squad rules. It's a shame because Asa was an absolute beast who could have been great if not for the injury.

 

[Jem83]

Sadly, I agree. Feel really bad for the guy. But I think his Juve days are over now

He has some years left in his contract so if he's injured again that won't be an option. We need to get him fit and then see how it goes.
