About Sick Notes

Sick Notes looks at the injury records over the past three Premier League seasons ending with the 2016 – 2017 season.

How was the data calculated?

Working with the team at Physioroom.com,

Injury duration was calculated by the length of time between the start date and return date of the player’s injury.

Injuries that run over from one season into others were accounted for.

Where a player picked up an additional injury during his rehabilitation from an existing injury, if the recovery date from this additional injury was before the recovery date from the existing injury, these values were not stacked.

The injury total would simply include the length of time to recover from the original existing injury.

Premier League seasons run from the day after the last game of the previous season until the last game of the current season.

Pre-season was included within the calculations for the current season.

As an example: The 2014 -15 season ran from the 12th May 2014 to 24th May 2015. Injury time during pre-season beginning on the 12th of May 2014 was therefore included as time off during this one football season.

Data was accurate as of 26/09/2017.

Sick Notes was built in conjunction with physioroom.com and bigfreebet.com, your news portal for the most accurate sports betting offers.
