Trees and Lingard

Is there insurance which pays out if a player is out injured for a season GP? There is if they have a career threatening injury, but if they miss say half a season not sure that exists and for how many players?

Not my area but I was wondering the same thing. In recent years I don’t recall the long term injuries to the likes of Hughes, Keogh (slightly different I accept), Marriott and Davies as being seen as anything less than quite catastrophic. Don’t remember talk of financial compensation...although I think there may have been something with George Thorne.

Back in the day (ie the 80s when I worked alongside brokers for a while and was friends with a couple of FC FDs), players were routinely insured. No idea these days
