The following graph shows the total number of days missed by players at each club who were out with a reported 'significant injury' (defined as more than two weeks out). Obviously, the longer each player is unavailable for selection due to injury then the team has less chance of success. Apart from showing how many days the club's players were unavailable for selection, it allows an estimate of the financial cost of injuries to each club.

Total Days Lost Due to Reported Injuries: 2005/06

Overall, injuries had a big impact on most clubs during the 2005 / 2006 season, with Arsenal, Birmingham City, Everton, Newcastle and Sunderland particularly affected – all suffering over 1500 ‘days lost' due to injuries.

The Gunners had a run of broken bones. Gael Clichy missed 159 days with a fractured Metatarsal; Abu Diaby missed 244 days due to an ankle fracture on the final day of the 2004 / 2005 season; Ashley Cole broke a metatarsal, pulled a hamstring and sprained an ankle and was out for 206 days in total. Robin van Persie broke a toe and missed 64 days. In addition Lauren missed 322 days following knee surgery.

Other notable injuries of 2005 / 2006 included Martin Laursen (knee) 338 days; Ryan Taylor (broken leg) 265 days; Malcolm Christie (broken leg) 261 days; Mehdi Nafti (anterior cruciate ligament) 244 days; James Vaughan (knee) 233 days; Alessandro Pistone (anterior cruciate ligament) 207 days and Boudewijn Zenden (anterior cruciate ligament) 206 days.

Conversely, Chelsea had a fantastic season with their 12 significant injuries producing just 349 days lost due to injury for the entire squad. No wonder The Blues marched to their second Premiership title in two years.
