Just wonder if anyone has seen this before or if there is a proper reason for this happening but, i was just playing in the spanish cup and in injury time, my striker just vanished off the pitch, off the match engine and off the tactics screen, he hadn't been sent off, or gone off injured, but in the player list for my tactics he had a red arrow next to his name, now i'd already made 3 subs so that wasnt a possibility, does fm automatically sub injured players or something when all subs have been used? because i've been in that situation before and the injured player has remained on the pitch, only thing that struck me was when i clicked on his profile before the end of the game it said 'Has potential shoulder injury' could that explain his bilbo baggins lotresque disappearance?
 
Usually you'll get sent to the tactics screen when a player is injured so badly he can't continue or sent off, whether or not all your substitutes are used. I'm guessing you watch matches at a very fast speed or weren't watching the match when this happened?
 
yeah i watch matches fairly fast, but i'm a tinkerer, i'm always in the tactics screen tweaking and checking everything, funny thing was i seen him run off the screen, and i dont remember seeing any text at the bottom to say he was injured, and i didnt get an injury report after the game...
 
Ive had a similar problem. One of my players got a red card and in the same sequence of play one of my players got injured. I took him off but the sub never came on and disappeared from the tactics screen altogether, so i ended up playing with nine men for the last 20 minutes in the champions league semi-final :S
 
Sometimes the injuries aren't as serious as they first appear so that the player actually just has a condition percentage hit rather than time off.

@mikelfc - ouch! All I can suggest if that kind of thing happens, is to make sure that you are using the latest patch (9.3), save the game and then report the bug to SI (upload the saved game .pkm file to their server). At least then the bug should be fixed for FM10.
