[BBCSport] There have been 196 injuries in the Premier League season. That's a 15% increase compared with the past four campaigns. Why are so many players getting injured? (www.bbc.com)

time off between seasons are way too short. pre seasons are way too short. 4 week preseason to go from sedentary to game speed is nowhere near enough.

This point is so true. I follow some american sports and they get an incredible amount of time off compared to footballers. NFL, MLB and NBA get months off whereas footballers get 6-8 weeks at most. Less if there is an international tournament.
