Manchester United and Chelsea confirmed as most injury-hit clubs in Premier League by major study

A total of 3,985 injuries across Europe’s top five leagues represented a decrease from the previous season, 2021-22, when that figure was 4,006, but the costs to clubs of those injuries rose by 30 per cent, demonstrating not just the concerning increase in ankle (up 170 per cent) and hamstring injuries (130 per cent) but also the exponential rise in player wages in recent years.
