4 hours agoWood in Forest squad after six months out injured
Chris Wood returns to Nottingham Forest after a six-month injury layoff, available for the Europa League quarter-final.
After a tough workout, your body enters a state of stress: muscle fibers are damaged, energy stores are depleted, and hydration levels drop. This is a critical moment. If your body gets the right nutrients, it starts rebuilding immediately. If not, recovery slows down, and so does progress.
The ongoing discussions regarding future structural changes to the game, such as the introduction of new tournaments (eg. Fifa Club World Cup), further intensify this challenge. These changes have the potential to significantly reduce the downtime available to elite players, affecting their recovery and overall well-being.
Marc Bernal was one of the two casualties for Barcelona in their recent 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid. The young midfielder picked up a knock and had to be subbed off around the hour mark.
Newcastle United defender Sven Botman has undergone successful surgery on a facial fracture. Following concussion protocol, the Dutchman was substituted after suffering the injury during the second half of Sunday's game against Sunderland at St. James' Park.
Yesterday he had to leave training and on other days he has felt discomfort. But after yesterday's training, we spoke with doctors and decided he should stop, recover 100 per cent and come back with confidence and without discomfort. From now on, we'll have to wait and see if it's a matter of days, and it doesn't take too long, but he should take the time he needs.
He has not trained with us until now, Slot informed the press on Wednesday morning. Let's see if he can today. I've said, I think two or three days ago when we played Fulham, that he is not going to be out for long, but because games come so fast, he is in between maybe training with the team, or it would take him one or two days extra.
