According to the BBC, in the last 18 months in the Scottish Championship, more than 20 players were forced to pay for their own treatment after injuries..
According to the source, in Scotland, clubs are not obliged to insure players and if a footballer’s injury is not so serious that he can no longer play football, the club is not obliged to treat a player.
"This is a problem that we must somehow solve, we had moments when the players were injured six months before the end of the contract and they simply broke the labor agreement," said the executive director of the players' union Fraser Wishart.
“In one case, a player’s mother took a loan from a bank to pay for the operation to her son, who was kicked out by the club after an injury,” Wishart added..
