Injuries cost Premier League clubs almost £90million in the first half of this season, according to a new study.
The Men's European Football Injury Index, published by international insurance broker Howden, calculated the cost of injuries to clubs across Europe's big five leagues by multiplying the cost per day of a player based on their salary by the number of days they were unavailable due to injury.
It found the cost of injuries to English top-flight clubs was £89.82m, the highest figure for any of the big five leagues.
The Premier League also saw the highest number of injuries across all leagues (659) according to the Index, but the club with the highest injury costs in Europe were Spanish giants Real Madrid on €19.
