Statistically you're more likely to get injuries in clumps than evenly distributed if each player has a given chance of injury from a given activity.
I play rotating squads, so ideally (there's the odd exception) everyone in my 22 plays 1 match a day - anyone who plays 2 doesn't do much training, if any. I try to have people on 90%+ condition at match time, and never train anyone who's below 80% condition.
