Why do players get injured?

Football is a very physical sport, and injuries are unfortunately common. Players like Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni are 'out injured', meaning they can't play because of a physical problem. This often leads to other players, like Araujo, getting a chance to step in and play in their place.
