is there any evidence of that?

genuine question, by the way, not a snide.

Things like recurring hamstring or other pulled muscles makes sense, but are they also more at risk just from general knocks?

If so, I wonder if it could be a result of a biased sample. I.e. injury prone players get injured more often.

        Well your prediction is entirely unproven as you well know. (NCFC) - norway, Aug 31, 19:40:41
        
        How is it unproven? I predicted it and it happened. (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 31, 19:48:06

        As are players who get wiped out by bad tackles. Jim, you're being weird. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Aug 31, 19:38:50
