injury vs age .. are they related?

[shwanko07]

i read somewhere in one of game FAQs, that older players are more likely to get injured during training than younger players... is that true?

here is what it says

As far as player injuries, the game started with injury statistics from Premier League, a lot of people have complained and since then that number has been reduced by 3 times.
Also, injuries at training do depend on the age of players, the older they are the more likely they are to get injured.

i don't know for sure

i myself don't train my old players (30-34) unless they're only a few skill points away from getting higher rating. the ratio of skill point gain / probability of injuries is so small for old players, even if the injury is not related to age. so you don't get much benefit by training them. normally my old players only get skill point by playing on the field

I think older players do get injured more often, I tended to get injuries to 32/33/34 year old often at the beginning of the game than younger players, Now I wouldn't know if thats still the case because I don't have players over 30 years old that often.

i`m not so sure my oldest player is 24 and got a long term injury and 5 others all under 21 got mid to long term injuries and to make it worse 6 injuries in 5 games, just happy have a big squad and injury packs if needed

cheers for the replies .. meanwhile nothing concrete here yet
well my team average age is 20.7 .. so i really can't say .. i get injuries .. but is like once every 4-5 games .. i had one only in training in 7 days
is that the average here?
am tempted to sign an older guy for cheap to rotate and give the team some experiences but as i train my team alot, am worried he will be injured alot
