As players, we only get opportunities when players get injured and you never want to see anyone get injured.

Hector Bellerin

Thomas Muller deserves enormous respect. He's hardly ever injured and has always been with the national team, where other players might have said they are tired, need a break or were injured. He has busted his butt for the national team.

Joachim Low

Always, you miss all the players when they are injured.

Mauricio Pochettino

There will always be players injured or suspended.

Mats Hummels

It's always a blow for a team if important players get injured or suspended.

Georginio Wijnaldum

There are times when new players replace injured players in the national squad. Since the new players don't have enough experience and match practice at the international level, they seldom play under a lot of pressure.

Sandeep Singh

That's always a concern with a player when he's injured. There's a difference between injured and pain. If a guy's injured, he's injured. Pain is pain. Guys can play with pain. Guys can't play when they're injured.

Herman Edwards

It's always better for the players being injured to come back to a winning team; it takes pressure off their shoulders.

Hugo Lloris

Everyone knows I like to fight injured. Half the fights I've taken, I've always been injured.

Robert Whittaker

Some players have 18 years in football. But some players are injured before they start. When I thought like that I said: 'If I compare with that I have been very lucky. At least I had 10 years of a beautiful experience that changed my life for ever.'

Marco van Basten

Shame has its place. Shame is what you do to a kid to stop them running on the road. And then you take the shame away, and immediately, they're back in the fold. You should never soak anybody in shame. It's the prolonged existence of shame that then flips out into destructive rage. We can't exist in that. It's like treacle.

Hannah Gadsby

It's not good to have so many key players injured, but there is no point complaining about it.

Toni Kroos

My fellow players are sometimes occupying the spaces I want to play in. That forces me to adjust my runs, based on the position of my fellow players. Unfortunately, they're often playing in my zones. I think that's a shame
