Head of Sport at Howden, said the data underlines the ever-increasing physical demands on players
Players in Germany’s Bundesliga are most likely to be injured amongst Europe’s top five domestic leagues but England’s Premier League bears the most injury-related costs, according to a report published on Tuesday.
The report comes with player welfare, including injuries, an increasingly hot topic with FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup and UEFA’s revamped club competitions adding to the workload of already packed domestic schedules. “As fixture congestion intensifies with expanded competitions domestically and internationally, we are seeing more players sidelined for longer periods, with a notable 5% rise in injury costs this season alone,” he said.
Overall last season, an injury occurred every 92 minutes across the five leagues, costing teams an average of 172,975 euros per game. Bundesliga clubs had an injury every 52 minutes with Darmstadt enduring one every 33 minutes.
