[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)

too many games.
not enough rotation because every player is expensive.
players are getting more athletic so more forces put into the ground at higher speeds and shorter ground contact times.
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.
