Chris Smalling is a good example, with a toe injury which ultimately saw him miss close to two months after weeks of pain-killing injections.Sanchezs ongoing issues have been well-documented while those players who were involved in the latter stages of the World Cup (Lingard, Lukaku and Fellaini) suffered injuries at pivotal points throughout the season.
