Tap a dot on the body, or choose from the list. The knee, hamstring and ankle are the most common problem areas for footballers.
Knee
Knee injuries are some of the most common in football, especially for female players, because of the landing, cutting and sudden changes of direction the game demands.
Hamstring
The hamstrings work hardest when you sprint, so injuries often happen at top speed and have a habit of coming back if rehab stops once the pain settles.
Ankle
A rolled ankle can feel fine for walking within days but still not be ready for the speed and unpredictability of a match.
Calf & Achilles
Calf strains are common in football and, like many muscle injuries, are more likely to return if the calf isn’t rebuilt to handle running and sprinting again.
Groin & hip
Kicking, striding and changing direction all load the groin and hip, so pain here often builds up over time with training load.
General information only, not a diagnosis. If pain is severe, getting worse, or came from a big knock or fall, get it checked promptly.
