Why do players get injured so much?

Benjamin Sesko and Amad Diallo are both sidelined with injuries, a common challenge in professional football. The intense physical demands of training and matches, coupled with frequent impacts and collisions, put players at high risk. Clubs invest heavily in medical teams and recovery strategies to minimise injuries and get players back on the pitch.
