Has VAR also played some role here? I can imagine having 1-2 minute pauses several times a game can make you cool off pretty quickly and your muscles become more injury prone. I believe that's actually what happened to van de Ven in the Tottenham - Chelsea game for example

Van De Ven did not do his hamstring just because of a VAR pause. If the pauses were an issue you'd see it all the time in Rugby, which you don't...

We'd also see the field become a casualty ward after half time in every game.
