Brentford players have have lost a whopping 725 days due to injuries since the season kicked off on August 11, according to Premier Injuries data.

Sheffield United sit rock bottom in the Premier League table and reinstated Chris Wilder at the helm after sacking Paul Heckinbottom a fortnight ago — but the Blades' injuries have compounded matters with 667 days lost so far.

Brighton (594), Manchester United (574), Chelsea (557) and Crystal Palace (493) have also registered above-average totals for days lost.

At the other end of the scale, West Ham have lost only 158 days so far — which is nearly a fifth of Brentford's crippling tally. Wolves (245), Bournemouth (277), Everton (306) and Manchester City (380) have also experienced comparatively quiet treatment tables.
