That's an 11aside team with a sub!
Guess who the sub is?
(Rhymes with something that is a . . .)
light frame or ring that holds the foot of a rider, attached to the saddle by a strap, often called a stirrup leather

Our defenders being constantly injured is a byproduct of this ridiculously high line we play regardless of the match situation.
But we need a smaller squad.how betanelli can be injured when he will get as many games as Carson is beyond me

Can you show a correlation in football between high defensive lines and injuries and provide a hypothesis that underlies any correlation should it exist?

No, but defenders having to constantly sprint back and make last ditch tackles makes injuries more likely IMHO

There’s a long standing correlation between the number of long, high intensity sprints and injuries:

Exposing players to large and rapid increases in HSR and SR distances increased the odds of injury. However, higher chronic training loads (≥2584 AU) and better intermittent aerobic fitness off-set lower limb injury risk associated with these running distances in elite soccer players.

People need to get used to injuries, it's a by-product of the Premier League's new 'allow physical play' directive.
If the opposition are allowed to just kick lumps out of us all game and go in with two handed shoves in the back injuries will inevitably mount up.
The days of skillful players in the premier league are over, to be successful players need to be big, strong, willing to dive at a moments notice and whinge to the referee as a team when they get tackled.

I like this response, way too many people posting on here these days, making statements and accusations without any effort to provide supporting context.
On a side note, for a team that plays such a high line, it's amazing how much time we spend passing the ball ineffectively in and around our own penalty area.

I wasn't expecting anyone to answer my question completely because it is a significant question requiring some work. You would need heat maps to establish which teams play high lines, and then you would need to do some data analysis to find if there is a significant difference in the number of injuries between teams playing a high defensive line and in those that spring out of a low defensive block. An hypothesis might be that a high defensive line is associated with more sustained sprints and tackles that are associated with injuries. However, you might also expect those teams to be playing in a low block without the ball to have to work harder. It's not obvious which regime imposes the highest physical demands on players, or perhaps it is and I don't see it.There’s a long standing correlation between the number of long, high intensity sprints and injuries:
