It is Friday lunchtime and Premier League media conferences are in full swing - then news emerges a key player has been ruled out of a crucial game because of injury. While this is a familiar story for every manager, the data shows some teams have been affected significantly more than others this season - including under-pressure Tottenham boss Thomas Frank. Premier Injuries assesses both the number of days lost to injury by first-team squads, along with the total tally of injuries that have ruled any given player out of at least one league match - eliminating data for semi-fit players who may be rested for a domestic cup game. When combining both factors, Spurs are among the Premier League's worst-hit sides this season. Tottenham have had 19 separate injuries in total - the joint-most of any club alongside Arsenal, Chelsea and Leeds - while they have also lost the second-most number of days to injury, behind only Newcastle.
