"A new report from The Athletic has now delved into the situation and come up with a pretty damning report of Barcelona's medical department. Raphinha has been out for longer than originally expected after suffering two setbacks in his recovery. The report claims the Brazilian "was given a heavy workload in training" which resulted in one setback and Raphinha being ruled out of El Clasico. He only finally returned to action last time out against Athletic Club as a substitute."
"The report states that Yamal "was not satisfied with the way his recovery had been handled. He asked to be treated by other members of club staff - a request that was granted." As for Balde, he apparently sustained a hamstring problem during training "after he used a piece of gym equipment incorrectly, with the player feeling he had been wrongly advised on it.""
Barcelona have suffered a wave of injuries this season, sidelining key players including Joan Garcia, Gavi, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Pedri and Alejandro Balde. The club's medical and readaptation processes have been criticized after several players experienced setbacks, disputed treatment plans, and expressed dissatisfaction with rehabilitation. Raphinha suffered two setbacks after a heavy training workload and missed El Clasico before returning as a substitute. Yamal has pubalgia and requested treatment from different staff, indicating unhappiness with his recovery handling. Balde sustained a hamstring problem during training after allegedly being advised incorrectly about gym equipment. Gavi initially received conservative knee treatment but later needed surgery when further damage was found, prompting changes in the readaptation staff.
