How the injury hub works
Every injury story from 40+ outlets is read and classified: a diagnosis or setback marks a player out, a return timeline marks them returning, and a recovery report marks them back. Only the latest reliable report per player is shown, covering the last three weeks, so the list reflects what club sources are actually saying today.
- Out
- A diagnosis, a setback or a ruling-out has been reported.
- Returning
- A return timeline has been reported, or the player is back in training.
- Back
- A source has reported the player fit again or back in action.
When a player plays, or is named in a matchday squad, after the report, the row comes off the list: the appearance says more than the story did. If the report had already said he was back, he stays as Back and the appearance is shown under his name (“In squad · 24 Oct” or “Played 61 min · 24 Oct”).
