For pro-soccer players, concussion increases risk of other injuries: study

By Kathryn Doyle NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Professional soccer players who sustain a concussion are more likely to suffer another injury over the next year than players with other injuries, like groin strains or hamstring pulls, according to a new study from Sweden. Researchers used data from the ongoing Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League injury study. Sixty-six players sustained at least one concussion, the teams reported. Players who had a concussion tended to also sustain more injuries in general, before and after their head injury, than players who did not, the authors found.
