Arthritis

[edgardinho]

A midfielder if mine has arthritis so I sent him to a specialist for a few weeks. Will this be a long term thing?

...the heck?
Why should that require a screenshot? It has happened for as long as I remember. Not exactly the most common 'injury', but not one of the rarest either. I don't know how easily it repeats, I've only had it happen to older players who were already near the retirement age.

The player concerned is a 24 year old central midfielder. In all my years I've never seen it and I guess it'll be heavily recurring.

I might look in the database to see for sure.

It does recurr but from what I've seen it should only happen to players over 28.

I had a 5 star wonderkid 16 year old who got a "serious viral infection" and was out for 15 months. Livid doesn't describe how annoyed I was!!

Never heard of it before, but it looks like its been in FM since at least 09.

Similar threads lead me to this on 09: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2009/9782-arthritis.html

Never came back from it. His potential when down 2 stars and drastic loss in all attributes. Kept him till he was 20 just in case he recovered but nope

Well the editor says that arthritis is for over 28s only but my 24 year old got it weirdly.

I was considering selling anyway so shipped him out during the last window for £20.5m plus 50% sell on. I bet I don't see much of that though!
