The Ter Stegen case in the Barcelona It continues to contribute chapters to sports information culé during these summer months. The war between the club and the player during the last weeks is total and the end is not yet glimmed on the horizon. The German goalkeeper has already operated on his back problems and will now be a League Medical Commission The person in charge of assessing whether the low time is more than four months or less than four months. And there is the key to everything.
The subject Attributed It has no easy solution. You have to start remembering the German goalkeeper's statement before being operated, where he claimed that his low time would be about three months down: «After my last back operation I already returned to the playing land after 66 days, almost 2 months; This time, doctors believe that they will be necessary about three months as a precaution, so as not to take risks.
And the topic of month or month up is more important than it may seem. He Barcelona urgently needs that the injury of Attributed He has a section of the game land during four months or more to be able to release 80% of your salary and register the new signings (Joan García and Marcus Rashford). If it is three months, I would lose the option to sell to German until January, at least, and you would have to continue assuming your full card as until now.
Attributed says three months and BarcelonaObviously, he wants them to be four or more. In fact, last Tuesday, in the medical statement issued by the Club Culé after the operation of the German goalkeeper, the terms used are essential: «The player of the first Team Ter Stegen has been satisfactorily reinterpreted of his lumbar problems by Dr. Amélie Léglise, under the supervision of the medical services of the club, in Sports Clinic Bordeaux Merignac. It is low and its evolution will mark its availability ».
On the one hand, the Barcelona It does not provide an exact low time. Although it is true that he never usually does with any of his players. And, on the other hand, it uses the word “reinterpreted” and not intervened, so that it is clear that a second operation in the same area can cause greater difficulty when returning to the playing land.
This is how the League Medical Commission that will study the case of Ter Stegen works
All this word game is dedicated to League Medical Commission. They will be the ones who have to assess whether the injury of Attributed It is long duration or not. Therefore, the Barcelona is in the hands of this commission to be able to register Joan García yes Rashford.
A League Medical Commission which is formed by four traumatologists: Fernández Jaén, Baro Pazos, Pérez San Roque and Ardèvol. The latter, Jordi Ardel, He was head of the medical services of the Barcelona And it will remain out of this decision, as happened at other times with other players of the Barca team that were injured (Gavi, Araujo or Christensen).
But Ardevol has granted statements to the Chain ser where you can intuit what the final verdict will be: «I am missing data. It can be a relapse or it can be something else. If you operate a hernia between the fourth and the fifth lumbar and the first sacral, sometimes it spoils between the fourth and the fifth lumbar. I have no data to know whether or not it is a relapse, but surely it is a bad matter, because what is certain is that it is in the same area. Not only for surgery, but it is a goalkeeper. They are continuously doing trunk flexions. Operated for the second time, they must put everything for a good recovery. Three months? I will not answer because here other factors enter and I am also in a complicated position because I am a member of the League Medical Commission, the agency that will determine whether the leave is long duration. Surely it is a long recovery, they can be three or they can be more ».
The remaining three experts of this League Medical Commissiononce they receive all the necessary documentation from the Barcelona In order to evaluate the case, they will study it individually and each will make a report valuing whether or not it is a long -term injury. If everyone makes the same decision, there is nothing more to speak, if the options are disparate, they will have to meet and discuss a unanimous final verdict.
