Bolton Wanderers' head physio Matt Barrass believes the club can be proud of their positive injury record over the last 12 months. Barrass attributes this success to communication and savvy signings in the last two transfer windows. Despite losing players like Marcus Forss, Amario Cozier-Duberry, and Eoin Toal, the squad's 'squad first' attitude helped them cope with injuries. Manager Steven Schumacher's approach to injuries has been praised by Barrass, who says Schumacher is good at keeping people focused and not making a song and dance over things. The club has bolstered their medical department with the appointment of Jonny Griffiths as lead physio and Jack Winnard as strength and conditioning coach. Barrass's role has changed slightly, and he is now more involved with the academy. The club's data shows that everything is trending in the right way, and Barrass is excited for the Championship season ahead. The medical team's approach has been positive, and they have done a good job in keeping players primed. Barrass had a conversation with Fergal Harkin, and they decided to bring in another experienced physio, which has improved the department. The club's coaching staff is very level-headed, and they listen to the medical team's advice, which helps in decision-making. Overall, the club's injury record has been a success, and they are looking forward to the new season.
