Bundesliga worst hit by rising injuries in Europe, report finds<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Players in Germany\u2019s Bundesliga are most likely to be injured amongst Europe\u2019s top five domestic leagues but England\u2019s Premier League bears the most injury-related costs, according to a report published on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The fourth edition of insurance firm Howden\u2019s Men\u2019s European Football Injury Index charts the upward trend in injuries recorded in the Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Ligue 1 and Serie A with a combined 4,123 during the 2023-24 season \u2014 a 4% rise on 2022-23 and 37% more than in 2020-21.<\/p>\n

Injuries cost clubs a combined \u20ac732 million ($797.73 million) last season in wages paid to players while out of action while since the report\u2019s first edition in 2020-21, there have been 14,292 injuries in Europe\u2019s top leagues, costing clubs \u20ac2.3 billion in players\u2019 salaries.<\/p>\n

The report comes with player welfare, including injuries, an increasingly hot topic with FIFA\u2019s expanded Club World Cup and UEFA\u2019s revamped club competitions adding to the workload of already packed domestic schedules.<\/p>\n

On Monday, players\u2019 union FIFPRO Europe and the domestic leagues warned that players could be pushed to strike action.<\/p>\n

James Burrows, Head of Sport at Howden, said the data underlines the ever-increasing physical demands on players.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Howden report highlights a worrying increase in the severity of injuries to Premier League players aged under 21, with each injury equating to an average 44-day lay-off \u2014 up from 26.5 in 2022-23.<\/p>\n
