Remove (rather fix) accents in injury reports

[germannp]

Hello,

In box reports player's names with accents are fixed using utils.remove_accents, I guess the same should be done for injury reports. This could in principle be easily done, like

def get_injury_report():
    r = get(f'https://widgets.sports-reference.com/wg.fcgi?css=1&site=bbr&url=%2Ffriv%2Finjuries.fcgi&div=div_injuries')
    if r.status_code==200:
        soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')
        table = soup.find('table')
        df = pd.read_html(str(table))[0]
        df.rename(columns = {'Player': 'PLAYER', 'Team': 'TEAM', 'Update': 'DATE', 'Description': 'DESCRIPTION'}, inplace=True)
        df['TEAM'] = df['TEAM'].apply(lambda x: TEAM_TO_TEAM_ABBR[x.upper()])
        df['DATE'] = df['DATE'].apply(lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x))
        df['PLAYER'] = df.apply(lambda injury: remove_accents(injury.PLAYER, injury.TEAM, df['DATE'].max().year, axis=1)
        df['STATUS'] = df['DESCRIPTION'].apply(lambda x: x[:x.index('(')].strip())
        df['INJURY'] = df['DESCRIPTION'].apply(lambda x: x[x.index('(')+1:x.index(')')].strip())
        df['DESCRIPTION'] = df['DESCRIPTION'].apply(lambda x: x[x.index('-')+2:].strip())
        return df

However, I fear that might fail e.g. if someone got traded and there was no injury yet in the new year or so. What do you think?

Cheers :-)
