The ever expanding injury list...

Various theories include players' changing physiologies, the amount of football played, footwear, and modern, harder pitches.

Dr Bilal Barkatali, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon specialising in sports knee injuries, suggests overplaying and fatigue is the key reason, particularly in high-level footballers.

"In the case of Zlatan Ibrahimovic - he's 35 and has kept himself in very good condition. Despite that, the weight of Zlatan coming down from jumping to head the ball and landing safely requires all his muscles to be firing at the correct time to support his joint.

"So if he is fatigued and is landing and one specific set of muscles haven't fired in time then all that force will be going through the middle of the knee joint, resulting in this rotation-type force around the knee causing an ACL rupture. So fatigue and overplaying is a really strong factor in how these injuries come about.
