10) Rio Ferdinand – QPR

The ex-Manchester United defender has had a fantastic career, despite getting injured just as regularly as his old partner Nemanja Vidic.

9) Robin Van Persie – Manchester United

Van Persie has overcome his injury problems since leaving Arsenal (probably a coincidence), but we can only wonder how good he could have been if he hadn’t spent much of his early career on the sidelines.

8) Younes Kaboul – Tottenham Hotspur

The Spurs captain has never fulfilled his enormous potential because of regular long-term injuries.

7) Aaron Ramsey – Arsenal

Ramsey’s brutal broken leg had serious long term effects on his fitness, and he’s only now going through his first injury-free period.

6) Steven Jovetic – Manchester City

Jovetic came to England rated as one of Europe’s top forwards, but injuries have prevented him from mounting a challenge for a starting spot in Man City’s team.

5) Jack Rodwell – Sunderland

Another player whose career has suffered after years hampered by niggling injuries.

4) Andy Carroll – West Ham United

Carroll has returned to the West Ham setup this week after a season and a half out injured.

3) Sylvain Marveaux – Newcastle United (on-loan at Guingamp)

Marveaux joined Newcastle in 2011, but made less than 40 starts in three years on Tyneside after injuries including a hip problem that required a visit to the legendary Dr Steadman of Colorado.

2) Jack Wilshere – Arsenal

One of many Arsenal players who spends far too long out injured. Earlier this season said that he was only now coming back to form after years of stop-start seasons – he has since been injured again.

1) Abou Diaby – Arsenal

Poor Diaby’s latest injury must be the end for the midfielder, we all said in 2012. The Frenchman has had well over 40 separate problems in eight years with the Gunners. The undisputed injury prone king.
