Players in the Premier League who are under the age of 21 are experiencing longer periods of absence due to injuries than in previous years, with a notable increase in knee-related issues, according to a recent study.

New findings from Howden's 'Men's European Football Injury Index,' a global insurance organization, indicate that similar patterns are evident across the leading men's leagues in Europe.
