"Bayern Munich are no stranger to injuries, especially ones which result in a long rehabilitation timeline for the player. Just last year, two key stars, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, suffered serious injuries that kept them off the pitch for several months. Neither player has managed to return to full fitness yet, gradually easing themselves back into the starting XI."
"New head of rehab Benjamin Sommer added a new €18k device called "Sprint 2" to the rehab sessions. With this machine, the players can complete runs and sprints with precisely adjusted resistance - all digitally controlled and analyzed directly, with data monitoring on an iPad. Sommer is very present on the training ground and meticulously supervises all rehab sessions himself to ensure a good recovery and improved fitness for the injured players"
"This is one of those ultra-specialized devices that would be a waste of money in any other context. Now, as to whether it will speed up recovery timelines or bring down the risk of reinjury - well, we'll have to see. The investment itself is minimal, 18k doesn't even buy you the pinky toe of an U-21 player from the 3.Liga, so it can't hurt."
Bayern Munich continued to manage long-term injuries after Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies missed several months and remain not fully match-fit. New head of rehab Benjamin Sommer introduced a €18,000 Sprint 2 device to rehabilitation work. The machine allows precisely adjusted resistance for runs and sprints, offers digital control and analysis, and streams monitoring data to an iPad. Sommer supervises rehab sessions closely to promote effective recovery and improved fitness. The device is highly specialized and may be unnecessary elsewhere; its effect on recovery speed and reinjury risk remains uncertain, and limited use would indicate better squad health.
