Toe no! Enner in bizarre injury
Not what we need going into the Arsenal game. Enner Valencia has cut his toe quite badly after stepping on a broken cup at home and could miss the match. He joins the latest in a long line of bizarre Hammers' injuries. This season Andy Carroll managed to cut his finger with a knife making lunch, though at least he didn't miss any games. Billy Bonds also once injured his toe, tripping over his slippers and falling downstairs. Steve Lomas injured his shin walking around Disneyland and Roy Carroll hurt his knee when he got tangled up in a goal net collecting balls in training. While in 2001 Hayden Foxe broke his finger after getting it caught in another player's bib. And that's before we mention Trevor Morley and Devonshire Flu…

That's half the team out with Tonka and jenks, Reid, cole, Carroll....
And I'm going…. help!
You forgot Tommy Taylor doing his back when he bent down to pat his dog...
The real problem is not the odd bizarre injury like Enner's, it is the serial incompetence of our massive medical/physio team. There's a cast of thousands whose job is to get and keep the players fit, and they just can't do it. Reid, Tomkins, Cole, Carroll all avoidable. Sack the lot and transfer in Chelsea's medics and physios. They almost never have injuries.
Yes, we've only been back a few days from warm weather training… good point about Chelsea's lack of injuries.; Not sure we can do much about footballers' lack of domestic skills. Training in tea making?
As late as a Julian Dicks tackle I know, but before Hammers loanee David Bellion was injured while at Nice when he suffered whiplash in a taxi (at a time when he had already been out for weeks with an "ear problem")
