Team doctors from Europe's élite sides have been invited to the forum, which will look at a variety of medical issues that affect top-level football. UEFA will also be asking the doctors if clubs require further support in this area.

UEFA's injury study will also come under the spotlight. Professor Jan Ekstrand, the leader of the research team, will give details of the study's latest results. Concerned by longer seasons and injury rates, the study was launched in 2001 upon the initiative of FIFA, UEFA and the other continental confederations – with a view to learning more about injury patterns and risks – the main goal being to increase the safety of football and decrease the number of injuries. The injury study is monitored by the UEFA Medical Committee.
