[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.

These points all apply to the seasons before. Why is it now a 15% increase? None of it is an explanation for that.

And I just say this: Why the fuck do these teams have a medical staff, when they aren't able to to check player health and manage their load?
