“I’ve given permission to install an ice bath at athe training ground,” Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony said on his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast today (September 22). “We are getting too many muscle injuries, possibly because the Championship is a more physically intense and demanding competition than League One.

“Jack Marriott now has ripped a tendon in his hamstring in tw, and Joel randall, who was flying in the under 23s will miss 11 weeks.

“We hardly picked up an injury last season, but you have to be as fit as Superman in the Championship.”
