Football players also commonly suffer from ankle injuries, such as lateral ligament tears, and injuries to the upper limbs, including dislocated or separated shoulders. Other common injuries include lower back sprains and concussions resulting from head injuries. Although, many other serious injuries may include:

broken bones, a ruptured Achillesa, torn rotator cuff, knee injuries,Bone Injuries and Overturning injury.Hopefully surgery is a last resort for most players because it can end the season due to the long recovery time required after the procedure.
