More injuries?

Feel like I can't go two days without a player getting, at least, a minor injury.

Had a beta save which I played all the way to last week and started a new save in what, I assume to be, the updated game post Beta and I feel like I'm getting more injuries than ever, especially inbetween matchdays.

I have a high intensity tactic but players don't get injured in games and when the match is done I always select the starting XI and rest them for a day, but during the weekdays someone is always getting ill, spraining or breaking something.

They only ever do double intensity when they're in peak condition and I scale it down from there according to their condition level but I'm still getting loads of injuries, in the training schedule they do a one physical session a day and that's only for 3/4 days a week.

Just a small timeline recap:

Wednesday, August 16th: Pedro Porro gets injured for 3 to 4 weeks.
Friday, August 18th: James Maddison gets injured for 2 to 3 weeks.
Saturday, August 19th: Oliver Skipp gets injured for 2 to 3 days.
Sunday, August 20th: Pepe Matar Sarr gets injured for 2 to 3 days.
Wednesday, August 23rd: Pierre Emile Hojberg gets injured for 7 to 11 days.
Thursday, August 24th: Fraser Forster gets injured for 3 to 5 weeks AND Dejan Kulusevski gets injured for 1 to 2 days.

Is anyone else having this problem or am I just missing something?
Yeah I have the same. Regardless of the facilitites and coaching/Physio staff.
I rest my players as above and also dont play them in a game before an important game and players are still injured. 'Rest for two weeks' guarantees that the player will get 'blisters' or injured in a training session that they shouldn't have been in.
That player will then complain that they are not playing often enough, even though they are at 60% fitness and you are putting them in softly.
Should be able to get certain players back quicker. Attributes of 'courage, eagerness and commitment to club/manager/team mates' should be a factor.
I never promise them playing time on return, but still they complain. 50 games played this season as a starter? i want to play in 80!!!
This, and the set piece section of the game is the most unrealistic.
