This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Author and supported by the Editor-in-Chief.The Authors regret to inform that, upon re-analysis of the data which are the basis of the paper, a database was utilized with mistakes in coding of players and injuries. This resulted in errors in the count of injuries, exposure and therefore their incidence. The two major findings of the published paper are not the findings in the re-analysis and as such the paper has been retracted. The first Author takes full responsibility for this error.
