Looking: Sources that show information about suspended/injured missing players

[Pmalek]

Like the title says. It is for scientific and research purposes.
I am looking for websites or sources, who at one place gather information about missing, injured or otherwise unavailable players for teams. Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Ice Hockey, any major team sports.

Is there anything like that available? You can post what you use here or PM me if you prefer.

Thanks!

I doubt there is one but yeah if someone has an information about that, please don't hesitate to drop me a PM as well if it's confidential. Please be considerate, I badly need it for a project that I am working on

Such thing doesn't exist for all I know (and I wouldn't like if there was such a website ). You would have to go to different places to find this information and an all-in-one website would never be as reliable as dedicated sites are, and even those are not always super reliable.

US Sports is probably best organized, since they have so many stats for everything, here is for example the injury report for MLB and NFL week 7. For soccer Flashscore has built a large database over the years and you can find information about missing/injured players for the big leagues there.

Basketball (non-NBA), Volleyball, Ice Hockey (non-NHL) etc. are really small sports and you will maybe find some overviews on the leagues websites, but in 95+% of the cases not. There you would have to go the team sites, fan forums, local newspapers etc.

If your research is related to betting, then I can tell you, that the lack of such an overview of all sports in one site is a good thing, since it gives you the possibility to gain an edge, if you put in the work and search for information that is not easily accessible. If you just go to page XY and see that two superstars from an european ice hockey team are missing, then everyone has this information. If you (can only) get this information by reading a local newspaper, then you are one of few persons, who has this information and can get valuable odds.

I doubt it also. I dont think there is a certain page or website that is existing for a particular reasons like players from different events that's gone, injured, died or etc. I think if you are really looking for sports update like this, you can directly search it on google or go to the main website for a specific event like basketball or the NBA page and etc.

Looking: Sources that show information about suspended/injured missing players

I think if you're looking for something that will give you an edge over the bookmakers for when you are betting on sports, the problem is that if there was such a website, and the information was published on it, then it would already be public knowledge and so the match odds would already have been adjusted accordingly. The way to gain an advantage is to get hold of knowledge that others don't have. You can do this for individual teams if you focus solely on that one team and develop a lot of personal knowledge and some good under-the-radar local information sources, word-of-mouth stuff... but I don't think you can expect to do it in general for every team.

Hello

I believe you should understand the fact that :
- there is nothing like that right now
- news is the only thing that will do it
- you have to search for the teams you are rooting for and then search about them on the Google.
- you have to keep track of the news every now and then

Go for :
- local news
- google
- local articles
- interviews

Someone might even start using this as an idea to make a new website.

Good thought from you, this project if embark upon will be a laudable type in the world of gambling becasue the information will be embrace by gambling enthusiasts. I Just google the information and nothing of such has been in existence and it's good for anyone to embark of this project. Personally, i would love to gather some important materials for this purpose and to come up with something concrete which will harness these information.

If I find out about a good site, I will let you know. And you to the same. Scientists should stick together.

Such thing doesn't exist for all I know (and I wouldn't like if there was such a website ).

I understand what you are saying. A few years ago, when I was much more engaged in betting, I had a good source that added daily info about missing players from many of the world's football leagues. But that was a long time ago, and I don't know what happened with that service now. I thought a site like that could be quite useful, especially now because of COVID-19 and new players getting infected almost daily. 

Someone might even start using this as an idea to make a new website.

I hope someone does.

@Pmalek
After I finished reading all previous comments I see how many people are not really pro-betting here
Yes there are many websites for tracking injured and suspended players before match for major leagues and some of them are flashscore.com; premierinjuries.com
and I think transfermarkt.com has some page about injuries.

[dimonstration]

Try Covers.com they have tabulated list of games and records of injuries with players name, status of the injury as well have many listed type of sports form Basketball, football, soccer and etc. There is a tab specified for Injury from each game and teams.

[rhomelmabini]

I do this most of the time and the great site I try to find if there's someone injured is https://www.espn.com. ESPN almost covers most of the major leagues even international games and hopes this helps you. By the way, I believe they don't cover all the games you try to find but the web is wide and don't just rely on one source but I think ESPN is a reliable as I'm using this quite a long time now and so far it's accurate.

What's your definition of a pro? Does knowing about these websites make you one? Having resources is one thing but making actual bets is another. I don't call myself a pro gambler but sports news sites are good enough for me whenever I check updates on a team I plan to bet on or against.

Seems like the desktop version has a different layout compared to the screenshot you made from the mobile site. I will definitely bookmark covers.com. Their focus is mostly on US sports, not so much on the European game. But I noticed a nice source of missing College Football players that could come in handy.

  Maybe I am not looking in the right places, but I never found ESPN to be that useful for this purpose.

[sunsilk]

For basketball, particularly for the NBA. I've seen this website to be helpful for the updates of injured players. Using this website will help other bettors next season.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/injuries/

They have two tabs, the daily report and for each team reports.

[swogerino]

I play sometimes sports betting and mostly soccer.I think the easiest way to find what you are looking is to go to the official website of both teams and look at the latest news there.Usually there is the information of which team players are missing and the reason why and also the start up eleven.

I don't think such data are public available. No matter that they might be public persons but such data are still considered to be private and medical so I don't think any website should offer such data on legal manner. Maybe I'm wrong but at least such would be the practice in Europe. Anyway, good luck with your research.

[OcTradism]

I know these sites but you can not rely on it to get all information on injuries or fitness conditions of players. Clubs try to hide such news from opponents' scouts.

The Op and second poster made me laugh.

To be honest, I will be surprised if such doesn't exist in this particular betting/prediction market. I wonder how the betting sites determine their "low/high odd" for teams. I thought it's based on researching such important information? If it's how they do it, they will likely have reliable sites where they source them.
I suspect some organized sports media, club sites, organizations invested in sports (like FIFA) etc, will have such information in organised form. The best ones will constantly update the information/statistics.

Wish there are services that specialize in gathering such information for the public.

It doesn’t make any sense to hide the fact that your player is injured if spectators notice he’s not called up for a game, because those people will find out anyway, which then leaks to the news, and rival teams will hear about it from there. Why would rival teams want to transfer injured players anyway, It’s a waste of valuable money that should be spent on fit players who can participate in games immediately, they’re not interested in buying injured players even if they perform very well otherwise.

It makes sense for coaches or managers of clubs. They need to hide information on their players and their squad for coming match. The opponent need to be put into unprepared and surprised situation as much as possible. The dominant team like Barca in golden seasons of Pep can be excluded but rest teams are not strong enough to win all opponents without surprise from squad and tactics.

It is the art of management and each coach or manage has different style or ability to do this. You can call it as diversionary tactics and it makes sense for important matches. Mourinho is a genius with it.
