Abstract

Many publications about the treatment and return to play after severe football injuries are available from the scientific literature, particularly about injuries requiring surgery. In contrast, less severe football injuries, such as muscle strains, ankle sprains and contusions, are less well addressed in the literature although these represent the most frequent type of injury. Additionally, such reports often have a low level of evidence and guidelines on treatment and the return to play process are very rare. Thus, the time away from football and the timing of return to play after minor injuries depends on the experience and skills of the responsible medical team. To achieve the aim of stay and play on the field, the medical team should be highly knowledgeable in interdisciplinary football medicine, prevention strategies, first aid on the field, clinical and manual diagnostics, tissue regeneration, symptomatic and conservative treatment as well as in return to play decision-making. No consensus exists on stay and play procedures neither on the practical level nor on the scientific level regarding injury definition, the diagnostic and treatment options and stay and play criteria. Therefore, this article presents the first steps for assessing stay and play strategies after minor injuries to standardize and improve practical routine, education and scientific research.
