Arsenal have signed German fitness coach Shad Forsythe. Forsythe will join long standing fitness coach Tony Colbert. Forsythe has been brought into try and reduce the amount of injuries that Arsenal get each season.

It is believed that the players keep getting injuries when they are with the fitness coach. John Cross said at the last AST meeting stated that the club doctor and Physio are fantastic.

Forsythe has been with the German national team for 10 years after been appointed by Jurgen Klinsmann and it is hoped that he will change recovery methods so that the players stay fit after returning.

This is great move by Arsenal and shows they are addressing one of the key issues from recent seasons. Forsythe comes with a reputation after working with the German national squad and will hopefully benefit Arsenal.

This should be a good appointment because if you can look after a national squad when you play every 3 days in all conditions then you need to be good.
