Serious bug Real Football Manager 2010

I've been playing RFM 2010 for a while, and I get this a lot.

A lot of my players keep getting injured. This is not a problem, but everytime a player gets injured, their work rate dips to single digit . I have players whose workrate are within the 80s-90s but it drops to <10 everytime when hit with an injury.

The work rate does NOT get restored when players return from injury. I've stop training, or train only stamina, or encouraged them, or give incentives, but work rate never increases or gets restored.

Worse still, the players who gets injured and ends up with single digit work rates ends up getting injured repeated, which I guess has got to do with their low work rate.

Even the AI controlled clubs have problems with injuries. What happens by the time the game reaches the 4th season, the game is full of players with single-digit work rates. The older players who eventually got re-generated also re-generated with single digit work-rates.

With injuries wrecking havoc in the game, it gets unplayable by the 6-8th season that rolls in with all the single digit workrate players.

Have any one managed to get around this problem, or is there a patch somewhere that addresses this issue?
