La Gazzetta dello Sport interviewed the Director of the Education and Research Department, Francesco Della Villa, about this type of injury following the cases recorded in Serie A in recent weeks.
“We are keeping a close eye on the situation. Cruciate ligament injuries in the top league remain relatively steady, with a higher occurrence at the start of the season.” All eyes are on the month of October as it seems to be the “peak month” for injuries. “It’s when we’ve seen the most cases,” Della Villa explained.
The cruciate ligament was the focus of another in-depth analysis published in the print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport on October 14, 2024. In the article titled “The Season of Cruciate Ligaments,” Francesco Della Villa was once again interviewed: “Cruciate ligament injuries occur more frequently at the beginning of the season. October is the peak month; that’s when we have recorded the highest number of injuries overall.”
