A lot of players seem to be getting serious knee injuries these days. Anyone know if it's on the increase, or just a recency/availability bias in my head?

Is there any open data available on injuries we can interrogate?

Definitely on the rise and a lot of it has to do with the I creased frequency and intensity of matches in men's football

In women's football it's that as well, the fact that they are more prone to acl tears in general than men, and the fact that football cleats aren't designed for women specifically, they still use the framework of men's cleats, which also causes issues.
