Abstract
Within our results, it is clear that there is a close correlation between the number of compulsory games and the frequency of losses possibly attributable due to the injuries accrued. However, it is also apparent that a high number of compulsory games does not necessarily lead to a high unavailability rate due to injury. Especially the teams of the Premier League in England show fewer injuries despite a high number of regular fixtures. In contrast, teams in the German Bundesliga suffer the highest unavailability rates due to injury despite having the lowest number of regular fixtures.
