"British record signing Alexander Isak arrived lacking match fitness, struggled with niggles and has now been ruled out for at least two months with a broken leg."
"Centre-back Giovanni Leoni sustained a season-ending knee injury in his first appearance while Jeremie Frimpong has made just five starts in 11 games due to a persistent hamstring issue."
"That trio arrived in deals almost worth a combined £200 million, close to half of the club's close-season outlay."
""I think a lot has been said by so many people about the amount of money we've spent," Slot said. "But unfortunately not all of the money we've spent we have used and that has to do with the injuries of these players.""
Several high-profile summer signings have been hampered by injuries and have not been able to contribute fully. Alexander Isak arrived with limited match fitness, suffered niggles and now faces at least two months out following a broken leg. Giovanni Leoni suffered a season-ending knee injury in his first appearance. Jeremie Frimpong has made only five starts in 11 games due to ongoing hamstring problems. The three principal new arrivals accounted for nearly £200 million of spending, representing roughly half of the close-season outlay. The head coach attributed the lack of full benefit from transfers directly to these injuries.
