PhysioRoom.com Injury League Table Analysis: 2004/05 Season

1. Introduction 2. Total reported injuries per club 3. Total days lost through injury per club 4. Total cost of paying injured players per club 5. Total reported injuries by type 6. Total reported muscle injuries per club 7. Total reported muscle injuries by muscle group 8. Total reported Hamstring strains per club 9. Total days lost due to reported muscle injuries 10. Average days lost due to reported muscle injuries

By examining the total number of days lost due to reported muscle injuries and the total number of muscle injuries sustained it is possible to present the average duration that a player is out with a muscle injury at each club.

It should be stressed that there are varying degrees of muscle strain, so some clubs could be suffering more Grade 2 (significant fibre damage) strains compared to Grade1 (minimal fibre damage) strains. Grade 2 muscle strains can take between 4 and 6 weeks to heal, compared to Grade 1 muscle strains which normally resolve within three weeks.

Norwich City's data is skewed by the fact that they only sustained one reported muscle injury during 2004 – 2005. Thomas Helveg strained a calf muscle and was out from mid January until mid March.
