Handling and avoiding Injuries

Injuries to professional footballers are impossible to avoid fully and are simply par for the course in some ways. However a rash of injuries can cripple a small team and so its important to keep injuries to as manageable a level as possible during a season and because of this it is important to keep the injuries within your squad at a low level by employing sensible management techniques. The other reason for avoiding injuries is simply that one long term injury or a sequence of smaller short-term injuries can adversely affect the development of young players.

Employing Good Physios

The better your physio’s the quicker that players will tend to recover from injuries and the less likely they will be to have to endure recurring injuries. The amount of physio’s a club needs is largely dependant upon the size of their squad and obviously the length of their injury list. For smaller clubs one or two physio’s is acceptable and obviously quality is better than quantity in this area.

Not over-training players

If you put your players on an overly physical training regime then this will increase the chance of them being injured. If your squad is feeling unduly stretched during a season and players are indicating they are tired frequently consider easing off their training level a little to give them a better chance to recover between their matches.

Avoiding over-physical matches

If you have a small squad then try and avoid matches becoming overly physical encounters. This will help avoid picking up too many injuries from within matches. You can help to ensure this by playing a more technical game where possible rather than a physical closing game (ie. Less pressing and easy tackling).

Don’t over-play people

Over-playing players during a season is a sure way of picking up continual niggly strains and other injuries. Young and old players are the most susceptible to these types of injuries in general.

Substitute players who pick up a knock

If a player picks up a knock during a match (indicated by a green injury icon showing above him on the 2D match view) then seriously consider taking him off. This will minimise the chance that the problem will blossom into a serious injury.
