[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)

Not sure about that mate. The number of domestic games played has been the same for 25+ years now. 38 league games, usual number of FA cup and EFL cup games too. A full UCL campaign has also been 13 games for 25+ years too. The world cup has been the same length for 25yrs as well and the Euros has only been one game longer in recent years since 2016.

All these extra games that people think of like the new UCL league format, the club world cup and the 48 team world cup have not been implemented yet. There's something else behind these injuries. It could be the increased intensity of the modern game or something else but blaming the number of games seems illogical because it hasn't changed much.

Or it is just nothing. Outliers happen.
