Ahead of the Christmas break, the newspaper highlights the numbers and interesting data from Serie A 2020-21.
From the first game in September, players have missed 1062 games in total due to injuries and niggles.
The many games, short preparation, reduced holidays, poor pitches, the climate, ageing players, medical history and fatigue are underlined as reasons for the many muscle problems since September.
The intense fixture list has given the coaches a host of problems so far this term, as Atalanta and Spezia only needed three months to surpass the number of missed games due to injury from the entire 2019-20 season.
Cagliari, Juventus, Milan and Roma are more or less on average, while Fiorentina, Napoli and Sampdoria are the teams that are doing well with injuries in 2020-21.
Comparing the numbers from last term, we are already halfway after only 13 games.
