# Managing injuries

> Documentation release: **FMRTE 26** (published release).

Use the player's **Injury** page to remove a current injury or add one with a chosen duration.

![Injury page with duration and treatment controls](https://docs.fmrte.com/img/fmrte26/players/injury.png)

## Heal one current injury

1. Open **Injury** and select the injury.
2. Use **−** to remove it.
3. Select **Save Changes** and check the player's availability in Football Manager.

Still unavailable? Check for another injury, [a ban](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/players/unavailability.md) or [registration restrictions](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/players/registration-and-permits.md). **Heal Team** applies the team-level action.

## Add an injury

1. Select **+** on the **Injury** page.
2. Search beside **Name** and choose the injury.
3. Set **Minimum Days** and **Extra Days**.
4. Choose the treatment flags needed: **By Physio**, **By Specialist**, **By Injection** or **By Isolation**.
5. Save and check the injury and expected absence in Football Manager.
> **TIP**
For repeated use, create an **Add Injury** [preset](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/tools/presets.md).

## Reduce future injury risk

Lower **Injury Proneness** on **Player Information** to reduce susceptibility. This does not remove an existing injury or guarantee the player stays injury-free.

## Recurring injuries

Removing recurring-injury history is not a supported live-editing procedure here. Changing a current injury or Injury Proneness does not erase that history.
