Internal workload and non-contact injury: a one-season study of five teams from the UEFA Elite Club Injury Study
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the acute:chronic internal workload (measured using s-RPE) as a risk factor for non-contact injury in elite European footballers, however the acute?:chronic workload, in isolation, should not be used to predict non- contact injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiological and clinical outcome comparison of indirect (‘strain’) versus direct (‘contusion’) anterior and posterior thigh muscle injuries in male elite football players: UEFA Elite League study of 2287 thigh injuries (2001–2013)
TL;DR: Muscle anterior and posterior thigh injuries in elite football are more frequent than have been previously described, and direct injuries causing time loss are less frequent than indirect ones, and players can usually return to full activity in under half the average time for an indirect injury.

Tim J. Gabbett,Steve Kennelly,Joe Sheehan,Richard J. Hawkins,Jordan Milsom,Enda King,Rod Whiteley,Jan Ekstrand +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been suggested that overuse injuries should be considered in terms of both "overloading" and "underloading", which may leave an athlete predisposed to a "spike" in workload.
