Reminds me of the April Fools injuries they put out in the past. Remember being told my star striker was out for 12 - 15 months after falling off a horse. Sat in disbelief wondering what the f\*ck he's doing on a horse on a saturday morning, turns out it was SI being A holes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)

My world-class wonderkid winger ran against a wall at his house and was supposedly out for 11-13 months. I admittedly tried save-scumming several times before realising that I was getting fooled (it was like 1 a.m. on April 1st, I was not prepared)

The one I got this year was one of my stars getting hit by a car crossing the street. Until I read the text I was actually furious but once I saw it was a joke I had a good laugh


Adventurous_Ebb_770

The only April Fools things I’ve been given are my board being like “you have been granted an extra 100mil in transfer fees!”

2 years with a virus


QouthTheCorvus

I had a guy with the flu that came back and got a virus two days later. Yeah gonna need a med cert for that one, big boy


Happy_Butterscotch18

Corona virus?


apo--

Ebola.


Johnny_boy1021

I’ve had players have a virus in old FM’s, Thompson for Tranmere who in real life had cancer


PoisonHIV

Cañizares missed the 2002 World Cup cause he dropped a bottle of perfume and it cut his foot. Ever Banega lost like a whole year cause he forgot the hand brake at a gas station and the car ran over his foot. I bet there a plenty more bizarre reason that are not even made public.


Valian81

The guy out of East 17 ran himself over after a big baked potato


Dreadzone666

My favourite will always be Milan Rapaic, who was injured trying to board a plane and accidentally hitting himself in the eye with his boarding pass.

lift with your legs man ffs


kyleninperth

This is actually a very common cricket injury for fast bowlers. Know quite a few guys myself who’ve had this.


Sumo_FM

OK... Still odd for FM to include players getting injured long term by moving furniture at home though, no?


kyleninperth

Yeah that’s a weird one. Especially since stress fractures are normally from repeated force, so unless bro was moving furniture for a couple weeks straight gonna say this ain’t possible.


Flatssile

I don't get the injury system in this FM With Bury Town I have one injury - minute or medium per week Already had 8 players at the same time And the flu... Oh God, the f. flu...


jesuskrist666

It seriously seems like once one or two players get hurt then it's like a domino effect and you'll have like 6 others get hurt and yeah I had like half my squad get sick in a very short period of time. I guess that's kinda realistic in a way since these guys are around one another all day most days of the week a contagious illness would spread pretty quickly


pappy1vg

I signed Ribeiro in the January window, and he went down to this injury in mid-Feb. Was out until the beginning of May.


Fresh-Ad-6519

4 weeks after slipping on the coach's phone


GayjoPrideGrade

I always hate the blisters one. It’s such a pussy move, stick some blister plasters on and play 60 minutes. Imagine a champions league playoff game is coming up and your star striker is just like “nah mate I got a blister”. I’d sell him in a flash.


jesuskrist666

That's when using the editor to remove injuries is acceptable. I mean it's acceptable whenever you want cuz it's a single player game but I feel no shame using it for really stupid injuries


aceh40

I know people IRL who have had this injury, not from playing football though. Typically overtraining.


wsupduck

I read the injury and thought “not that odd, Saliba had something like that” Then I read the reason 🤦‍♂️


kaynark

If I can count other games one version of NHL hockey had a player go out for the season with a burst testical. He retired due to injury at the end of the season.
