How often is Kyle Walker-Peters injured for Southampton? Let's take a look at the Kyle Walker-Peters injury history & provide updates on his current injury status.
Kyle Walker-Peters joined Southampton from Tottenham Hotspur in 2020. He initially signed on loan but he impressed so much that the Saints made an investment to sign the young defender permanently.
Ever since he signed at the beginning of the decade, KWP has eventually solidified his place in the Southampton starting eleven. He is now considered one of the best players at the club and a contender for one of Southampton's best full backs ever.
That said, how often is Kyle Walker-Peters injured?
That hamstring yet again. Despite their grim season, Southampton reached the semi-final of the EFL Cup, where they faced Newcastle. The Saints were already a goal down in the tie but they lost the second leg, despite only facing ten men towards the end of the game.
Kyle Walker-Peters was forced off in this match due to his hamstring playing up. In the end, he missed just two games, returning two weeks later.
The 2022/23 season was ultimately one to forget for Southampton. However, they did beat Bournemouth away from home in October of 2022, but it came at the expense of Kyle Walker-Peters.
The full-back was forced off the pitch just after the hour mark and it turns out that his hamstring tormented him again, after a year and a half away from the treatment table.
The England international missed a hefty six games for Southampton, returning to action in December.
Almost making it to a year without injury, Kyle Walker-Peters suffered form an unfortunate hamstring injury towards the end of January 2021.
Southampton faced Arsenal twice in one week. The Saints won the FA Cup fixture, knocking the champions out of the competition with KWP playing the entire match. However, he then missed the Premier League fixture against the Gunners straight after, which the Saints lost.
In the end, this hamstring setback caused Walker-Peters to miss four games for the Saints.
Shortly after signing for Southampton on loan, Kyle Walker-Peters suffered from a calf injury. However, the injury setback was not serious and in the end, KWP only missed one game of action.
