Tottenham Hotspur can point to countless issues for their dreadful Premier League finishes over the past two seasons.
Managers, Ange Postecoglou among them, have to take their fair share of the blame.
However, Postecoglou, Thomas Frank and even Roberto De Zerbi can point to one issue above all else.
That is Tottenham's rather comical injury record, with a whole team of players sidelined at times.
But it seems that Spurs are working behind the scenes to get to the bottom of that problem.
That is amid an update suggesting two new hires are close to being made at Hotspur Way.
Tottenham set to appoint two new medical staff members
Postecoglou regularly bemoaned his lack of options at times, as did Frank, without directly blaming anyone at the club.
However, it is obvious that something needed to change behind the scenes. Bad luck is one thing, but this was something else.
Tottenham News has reported extensively on Spurs' array of problems in recent times, one of which now could be dealt with.
Now, Himothy Reports - an account with close to 21,000 followers on X, including Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge and other respected journalists - has provided a positive update.
Tom Tombleson is said to be joining Tottenham from City Group, who have Manchester City among their stable of clubs, as well as Ali James from Aston Villa.
The two men will join Spurs' medical department for the start of the new season.
While appointments such as this can often go under the radar - it is new signings fans really care about - this has to be considered a massive positive for Spurs.
All the Tottenham youngsters training with first team as Malachi Hardy now involved What do we know about Tom Tombleson and Ali James?
Tombleson previously played rugby, including for England 7s at international level.
He then spent 10 years working with England Rugby as their senior strength and conditioning coordinator and head of sports science.
Tombleson has more recent worked as a rehab performance coach with Manchester City.
As for James, he also has a rugby background and played for Gloucester Rugby back in 2007.
He has more recently worked as a physiotherapist, including for Wasps, where he was head of medical services.
While they are not miracle workers, the hope now is the two can help get to the bottom of Tottenham's dreadful injury record.
Do that, and De Zerbi really does have a chance of getting Tottenham back in the top four.
