If he does get injured and out for a period of time we are in trouble.

From Walsall, Derby twice, Birmingham to WBA, Krystian Bielik has been out injured for long periods, Hopefully does not happen here.
I repeat though a quality player when playing and if stays fit will fit in well as he has done so far.

Before last season, he'd played 30+ league games for three seasons in a row.
We've had 12 league games this season and he's played in seven of them, with two of the games he missed being a suspension and he signed after the first two games of the season.
The only game he's missed through injury is Saturday and that was just because he felt his groin so BBM didn't want to take a chance given the other CB issues we have.
These are the facts.

I'll return to my original point, before last season he had played 30+ league games for three seasons in a row. He has missed just one game this season because of an injury. An injury prone player doesn't do that.
This is not an opinion, these are the facts. People can choose to ignore them or not, that's their choice.
If he's out for a while then it'll be a concern but doesn't seem to be the case.

You can both be right?
He could have been injury prone in the past, but that could have improved more recently

I completely agree with the broader point, but to play devil's advocate, he missed two full seasons with back-to-back ACL injuries. Some people say those knee problems never truly go away, and there is always a significantly higher risk of a third tear compared to someone who has never had that history.

But that's sort of irrelevant, the last time was over five years ago and he hasn't had a knee injury since. The reason he missed Saturday was he felt his groin - that's got nothing to do with a knee injury.
As has been mentioned, the other bad injury was a shoulder - again unrelated.
It's a total myth that he's injury prone. It's just not true.
I think people are looking for things that aren't there.
