BRISBANE Roar will seek expert outside advice to discover whether substandard training field surfaces are contributing to the club’s shocking injury toll.

As revealed by The Courier-Mail, teenage midfielder Joey Caletti has joined Brisbane’s casualty list, with a stress fracture in his ankle set to sideline for up to three months.

Caletti joins Eric Bautheac (hamstring), Jade North (groin), Brett Holman (calf), Luke DeVere (knee), Michael Theo (finger) and Shannon Brady (foot) on the sidelines.

Attacking weapon Nick D’Agostino is also set to meet the Roar’s date with Melbourne Victory at Suncorp Stadium tomorrow night because of an ankle problem.

While that injury was due a knock D’Agostino suffered in the Roar’s 0-0 draw with Wellington Phoenix last Saturday, a host of the Roar’s other injuries are non-contact issues.

It has led to concerns being raised about the state of the Roar’s training ground at Ballymore, as well as the club’s sport science operations.

Roar coach John Aloisi is fed up with having “eight or nine” players missing each week and wants answers.

“It’s something that we have to look into,”: Aloisi said.

“We’re going to get someone to come in and look at our infrastructure and see what’s going on, because the amount of injuries is getting a little bit ridiculous.

“When you’ve got so many, and it’s something that we have to look at ourselves first, and see what we’re doing right or wrong.

“From the first year I was here, where we training somewhere different (Griffith University’s Mount Gravatt campus), the loading s very similar, so it’s definitely not the loading.”

The Roar’s nomadic existence hasn’t helped matters.

This season they have trained at Ballymore, Olympic FC’s Goodwin Park ground at Yeronga, Brisbane Grammar School’s sporting fields at Northgate, and Cbus Super Stadium at Robina.

The Roar could have no complaints about the surfaces at Northgate and Robina, but their move next year, most likely in February, to their own training base to Logan can’t come soon enough.

Aloisi said the club would seek help from “someone that understands about pitches, understands about changing of the grounds (and) understands what that can do to the body”.

“We know what we’re going to end up going to Logan. It’s going to be ours and it’s important that we start to grow as a football club and we’re doing the right things,” Aloisi said.

“But we’re not there yet and we have to make sure that we are getting an understanding of why this is happening because every week there are eight or nine players out.

“It’s not easy for anyone. I worry about the players’ welfare more so because that’s important that we look after them.”
