I have to begin this with an admittance that twelve months ago, the idea of Arsenal signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin appealed to me. He was a top Premier League goalscorer and began the 2021/22 season with a goal in each of the opening three games.
However, injury, once again, hit the striker. I recall discussing the idea of Arsenal signing him with Dr Rajpal Brar, a specialist in sporting injuries producing content on the field at 3cb Performance, during the December period of last year.
Asking whether Calvert-Lewin could be attributed as 'injury prone' Dr Brar was hesitant and theorised his experiences were part and parcel of most footballer's careers. However, in reflection and a year on, the fractured toe injury suffered masked other muscular issues going on that were inadvertently revealed by his then manager.
