[Sport] Barça are on the lead with injuries

[Dr.Drako]

A few days after returning to the regular championship, which is in its final stretch, within the culé club there is a palpable concern about the issue of injuries. It is not something that only wanders around Barcelona. All professional clubs understand that the time to train is fair due to the load of matches in June, July and presumably August with the Champions League. That is why, from the coaching staff, the drift of the season has been taken into account to do the preparation of the exercises during the quarantine. It has not been very useful, since in a few days up to five players have had discomfort. Samuel Umtiti, Ansu Fati, Monchu, Semedo, who trained separately from the group yesterday, and Leo Messi have put the brakes on. In the case of the Argentine star, for a small contracture that they do not want to aggravate. And it is that all precaution is little. The load of parties and the demand will be capital when the League title is at stake, so the medical services at the slightest indication force their players to stop.



At Barça, the issue of injuries seems to be a structural problem. This season all but one of the footballers in the squad have been injured: Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets. The palm is taken by Jordi Alba, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé with three relapses per beard, being the Frenchman who will be the most out of the playing fields as he cannot, predictably, finish the season despite the break. A 'break' in the competition that has benefited the return of the Uruguayan striker, who was going to lose everything that remained despite the fact that the evolution was positive and that he received a medical discharge yesterday.

From the offices, and the bench, they are worried. The squad is short despite raising the boys of the subsidiary, who will have few minutes except Ansu Fati, one of the first team since the season began precisely because of injuries. They want to go with the lead feet, putting between cottons the one who feels the slightest discomfort so that it does not end up becoming a long-term problem. Therefore, Leo Messi has been removed from the group. There is a lot at stake, few weeks and the luxury of losing the captain, or some important player in the scheme, would be a headache for Quique Setién. Keep in mind that a slight injury of 15 days, means missing four days of League, enough time to leave the title on the road.
