Huge welcome to Flo Newton who has officially joined as First Team Doctor. Flo is a familiar face to all at Arsenal having worked as part of the Academy for a number of years. Flo will work alongside Gary and the rest of the team.

The French Sports Ministry has said that from May 11th the general public will be able to run, walk and cycle outside without restrictions. Professional athletes will be able to resume training after a health check. A yardstick for UK when it gets round to publishing its plans.

This, according to the referee, only merited a yellow card. I give up.

I wanted to see if anyone from our industry would speak out about the abortion bill, but I guess people are too scared. This isn't just an issue for women, it's one for every human being. We fight for equality and this is something men should fight for and not hide away from.

Nice point from @Alan_McCall_ on current load and injury research. «Training too much, too little or too much too soon can be bad, but sometimes good an other times it doesn’t make a difference.» Not as simplistic as it’s sometimes made to look.

Thanks mate, and the banner question you have raised above it is one the most important discussions to hopefully come from it. Our role in a professional sports team is multi faceted, but to help the team win has to be focus!! – at Newcastle, New South Wales
Excellent paper. “Worth more air time”
