How much do injuries cost clubs?

Player injuries are a significant financial burden for Premier League clubs. Beyond the immediate medical costs, clubs pay high wages to injured players who aren't contributing on the pitch. This can run into millions of pounds each season, impacting team performance and potentially affecting league standings and prize money.
