Thomas Tuchel has seen Chelsea finish on top of the table when it comes to injuries.
Chelsea boss Tuchel has insisted his squad would have been closer in the title race had it not been for players missing key games. And his complaints have been backed up by new research which also shows the Premier League paid out more than any other top European league with injuries costing clubs a staggering £89.82m.
Premier League clubs also suffered more injuries than any other of Europe’s top leagues as there were 659 injuries overall in the data collected from the start of the 2021/22 season up to and including the weekend of January 18. The study carried out by data specialists Howden Sport and Entertainment for the report entitled Feeling The Strain calculates the cost from player wages and how many days they were missing.
