Does a change in manager lead to more injuries?
It's one of the last things a newly appointed football manager wants. They've only been at their new club for five minutes and already a key player is out injured. Hardly the start they'd hoped for - but could it have been avoided?
Along with the obvious objective of winning games, one of the main priorities for any manager is to have a healthy squad to pick from.
But many experts will tell you the arrival of a new manager and backroom team can often lead to a short-term increase in injuries.
Physiotherapist Ben Warburton - brother of Wales rugby union legend Sam - is one.
Warburton began his career working with academy players at both Cardiff City and Welsh rugby union team the Dragons. He has since worked primarily in rugby, and was Wales' physio for their summer tour to Japan this year.
"It's very well known within the medical world that you get an increase of injury incidence when a new coach comes in," he told BBC Sport.
"Players want to impress the new coach and get in the starting XI - it's a clean slate. They're likely to report a little bit less to the medical staff and may train through some bumps and niggles, which can potentially lead to an injury."
Changes to the type of training can also make a big difference.
"If, for example, a new manager comes in and wants to shift the focus to gym work, that could cause injury issues if players aren't used to that," Warburton said.
Ben Dinnery, founder of Premier Injuries - a website used to track and record injury data for the Premier League, agrees.
"There are lots of factors at play," he said. "There's the injury history of certain players that a new manager probably won't know as much about as previous coaching staff.
"Then there's the issue of player fatigue. A new manager will understandably want to get the absolute maximum out of the players - but there's a risk of overdoing this.
"And, finally, there's the psychological impact of players working as hard as possible to make their mark - all of which can potentially lead to an increase in injuries."
There are numerous examples of when a new manager has quickly lost players to injury.
When Jurgen Klopp - famed for his high-intensity football - joined Liverpool back in 2015, his players sustained more than 20 separate injuries during his first three months in charge.
Dutch coach Raymond Verheijen later said Klopp had "caused 20 hamstring injuries in 10 months" and the German kept "blaming external factors for injuries".
When the Reds were given their Christmas schedule for 2016 - which gave them less than 48 hours between two matches - Klopp said: "You will sit there and say: 'You didn't perform too well - how did this happen?' Or: 'Injuries - oh?' And then this Dutch guy says: 'The training is not too good.'"

Kelly worked hard to recover quickly and be back in the squad list as of Saturday at the Franchi. The mission is not impossible: the signals coming from the bianconero medical staff are positive and confirm the player's progress.
Kelly will be today on the pitch at la Continassa, with a day in advance than Luciano Spalletti and the rest of the group. A gesture that testifies to the will of the defender to immediately help the team during a delicate moment of the season.
Good news for Juan Cabal as well, who continues towards full recovery after a long absence. Different story for Bremer, that should wait an extra month to be available again.

Vlahovic: the feeling is, as also confirmed by the coach in the press conference, that the pain in the left leg is actually a strain. He risks to miss (at least) all the games from now until the end of 2025, with a question mark over the start of the next solar year.
Today Vlahovic will undergo the first tests, tomorrow he will have a more in-depth exam and so a better understanding of the situation, which in the best case scenario will certainly keep the Serbian away from the pitch for the big match against Napoli, most likely for the game against Gasperini's Roma as well.
Bremer will start to gradually train with the group starting from next week - the objective is to be there against Napoli and play for some minutes starting from the #Pafos game. For #Rugani, a bit more time is needed.
