The Premier League is facing an injury epidemic — and the numbers are staggering. Last season alone, clubs recorded 593 time-loss injuries, with players missing a combined 2,597 games. The financial hit? More than £255 million in wages paid to injured players — an increase of £70 million on the year before.

Hamstring injuries have doubled in the last 21 years, fixture congestion is at breaking point, and managers are losing their jobs because they simply can’t keep key players fit. Despite clubs spending millions on technology, staff, and recovery systems, the problem only seems to be getting worse.

So what’s the answer?

In this episode, former Premier League physio and England national team staff member Dr. Dave Hancock joins Stephen Warnock and Adrian Lamb to reveal why injuries are spiralling out of control, where clubs are going wrong, and the revolutionary new systems he’s developed to finally tackle football’s injury crisis.

From Champions League nights with Leeds and Chelsea, to the NBA’s New York Knicks, to founding Apollo — the athlete management system now used in the Premier League, NFL, MLB and beyond — Dave brings unmatched insight into how clubs can save millions, keep players on the pitch, and protect managers’ careers.

If you want to understand football’s hidden epidemic — and the solutions that could change the game — this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
