There are a multitude of factors that have contributed to Liverpool’s pending Premier League title triumph – and one is clearly their use of sports science to help prevent an injury crisis.
For this, they have enlisted the help of an expert firm specialising in injury prevention – with live data being filtered to coaching staff that can alert them when a player is at risk of pulling up.
This is in small part thanks to STATSports, a firm founded in Ireland. The partnership is long-standing but the latest technology is helping Liverpool’s sports science team get live data that can flag up potential risks.
