Just putting this out there for the discussion:

The first pararaph of the report isn't surprising. Obviously players will sprint less frequently and run a shorter total distance when they play many games in a short space of time. It isn't necessarily a problem.

Whether it can be linked to injuries would matter, but there is no evidence provided which indicates that. All it says is that it is 'suggested' they will be more susceptible to injury.
