What happened at Manchester United was also experienced by other clubs. PremierInjuries data reveals that a total of 112 players were injured from 20 Premier League clubs.
Chelsea are the ones experiencing the biggest storm of injuries, two of which are Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana who are out for a long time due to knee problems. This situation has made a number of managers such as Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Mauricio Pochettino complain.
“We previously had the World Cup in the middle of the season, we had a longer season. We also had to play a longer season with the FA Cup, then the Nations League matches. The breaks were shorter,” said MU Manager Erik ten Hag as quoted BBC.
“The schedule continues to expand, the burden on the players is too big, very overloaded. Many of my colleagues highlight that and so do I. But this continues, we continue to increase the schedule.”
“The players can’t stand this overload any more and I think that’s what you see with this squad now,” he added.
