    Look, not trying to pretend I'm a doctor or whatever. I'm just a 5th semester PT student who've interned at the orthopaedic department of a Hospital in Copenhagen where I got to see Achilles and ACL surgeries and rehab the patients afterwards. So not a webmd nor a real one, just a student who's...

    Yes true both ligaments and tendons are made up of connective tissue and thats about all you’ve said so far that’s true and only thing they have in common. If this is your only response to the simple differences I’ve pointed out about tendon and ligament injuries, there is no reason to go...

    What does the incidence of an injury matter? Just because its more rare, doesnt mean its less severe. The ACL is a ligament. After a surgery, your muscles have the same prerequisites to reach the same level as before the injury. If you tear your Achilles, the tendon will change permanently. It...

    All ACL surgeries on athletes use either an allo(donor)- or autograft. Alternative is a conservative repair, which there is growing evidence for, with many cases of the ACL healing with a crossbrace protocol or attaching to the PCL which can also give some stability. Not sure what your reffering...

    said I’d rather tear both ACLs than one Achilles. Tear, not permanently lose it.

    Reason some hoopers have succesfully returned from an Achilles to their previous level is in many cases because they simple use the other leg for jumping anyyway. Having seen both Achilles operations and ACL Operations aswell as patients as a physio student, I'd rather tear both my ACLs than...

    Achilles injuries are much more serious than ACL. The tendon will never regain the same structure and properties, and always elongates to some degree which the calf muscles then adapts to (they get shorter and thinner). No amount of training and rehab can change this. It also takes much longer...

    Vinícius Júnior

    Not so sure, his progress has been quite slow. It’s been a year, but he looks so far from ready and he’s got no trust in his knee. He is not on the right path atm unfortunately. His Physios seem like complete dorks, I could do a better job, and I’m just a student with very little ACL rehab...

    Toni been quite confident in his actions in general, what a strike

    Feck wanted both him and Pedri subbed for fermin and casado. Both looked tired and vulnerable

    Thiago Translantara

    Officially left and has been replaced by Arnau Blanco, whoever that is

    8 - Pedri

    It’s a grade 2 sprain on the lateral colateral ligament. Rather simple injury that should heal within the 8 weeks and is easy to rehab. It’s a contact injury that almost only happens due to a bad tackle. It truly sucks that he will miss preseason, but this injury shouldn’t be tricky to bounce...

    8 - Pedri

    Crazy that Kroos didn’t get a yellow for that. Absolutely gutted for Pedri, looked quite unfortunate

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I have seen this repeated a few times, but why do we think Christensens injury struggles will last forever. I haven't heard anything except that it involves his Achilles tendon. And from how his load/playing time has been managed this last few months, my guess is he has some stage of Achilles...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Unai and Dani surprised me and were quite lively and fun to Watch. Only tuned in for the second half, but we looked like the better team from what I saw.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Wasn’t Sevilla interested in a loan? That could be an interesting option. Like others have said, he needs to play full games regularly and regain confidence, fitness. Sub appearances won’t cut it anymore, and he’s not replacing Raphinha or Yamal.
