The Premier League currently has 196 injuries recorded in just over three months, with Newcastle and Manchester United suffering more than most - so why this many?
I see this repeated a lot but it’s not true in reality. Pep and Klopp rotate more than anyone. Having deep benches allow you to do that. Clubs with shallower benches are forced to play their best XI more often.
That is on the clubs. Top clubs have capacity to rotate but refuse to.

That is actually only partly true, city has one of the smaller squads - though oep rotates alot in his “17” outfield squad
Depth isn’t only a matter of numbers, it’s also a matter of quality.
