They happen in all sports all the time. We just hear about it more because we follow Serie A. Confirmation bias.
elvin has a point in this case though. transfermarkt lists the injuries too:
- serie a ligament injuries: 11 players, including zaniolo, chiellini, kouamé, malcuit, pavoletti, zappacosta etc, not including demiral
- pl: 8 players, including sané, fabinho (they don't confirm whether he tore the ligament though)
- la liga: 5 players, asensio is the only one i remember seeing
- bundesliga (only 18 teams): 10 players, including süle and lucas hernandez
and we can add demiral to that list too: i read on vs that di marzio mentioned torn acl. fuck this shit.
