From The Athletic

John McGinn suffered a hamstring injury and could be unavailable for several weeks, Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has said.

The Villa captain sustained the muscular injury in the 19th minute of Aston Villa’s 2-1 victory against Leicester City. Jacob Ramsey, who was out of action for two months also with a hamstring issue, replaced McGinn.

It is the 30-year-old’s second hamstring injury of the season, having limped off in September’s home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Villa have suffered broadly with hamstring injuries this term, with Leon Bailey, Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara and Emiliano Martinez also spending time on the sidelines.

6 hamstrings so far. WTF's going on?

This is an article from the BM explaining the increase in hamstring injuries amongst professional footballers since 2001.
I think it’s interesting that this increase in frequency has been noticed and measured.
Although they state that the study was not set up to explain it there were two hypotheses emerging to account for the increase ( the number of injuries had doubled over the period studied).

The authors indicate

*a faster more intense game compared with pre 2000, and,

*more matches packed into weeks/months ( Euro or international tournaments) leading inevitably to shorter recovery/training time before fixtures.

18%+ are recurrent injuries, like our doughty captain’s latest injury, following one in September earlier this season.

It and many other injuries are a symptom of the number and concentration of games being played.
Unlikely to see him thus month which is a big problem.

Yes, CL, I was interested in the ‘cluster’ of such injuries at Villa cited in The Athletic. I wondered if it reflected on the training regime or medical support specifically at the Villa (re some comments in here earlier) and it seems not; the study does bear out what you and others of us in here have suspected.

Perhaps bigger squads would help to spread the load, especially on international duty.
Time for the FA and PL etc to rethink the rules re clubs and extend the numbers allowed?
And another good reason to ditch the club World Cup!

Agree, at some point the PFA are going to need to bare their teeth to protect player welfare to reduce the number and concentration of games. My guess is that the authorities will just keep extending squad sizes which is in my view the wrong answer.

This is why there needs to be a little more understanding when the manager takes the opportunity to rest players.

I agree but it needs to be something at a global level given the added congestion is largely at that level (expanded national comps, club wc etc) but that won’t happen because it’s the same global bodies doing the expanding!

I believe that the various players associations have threatened FIFA, it is the only language they understand.
