I know it's for the Premier League but same should apply to all divisions - see following interesting interactive chart showing the number, timing and nature of injuries. Early-season peak as can be expected with players starting to get up to speed but significant peak also around December-Jan which presumably is down to our ridiculous fixture pile-up (http://www.tableau.com/about/blog/d...07205418&elq=a9c55f66359b41a194207bbedc922b7f)
