The blow is confirmed for  paul cardona Having already been sidelined for nearly six months due to persistent knee pain, the Spaniard is forced to put his career on hold once again. And this time, no return date has been announced.

A worrying relapse

After an initial long period of absence, many hoped to see Cardona regain his rhythm on the circuit.  Premier Padel But according to several reliable sources, the player has decided to stop all competition again in order to fully concentrate on his recovery.

The message is clear: today, "There are no deadlines."Total uncertainty therefore hangs over the rest of his season.

As a direct consequence, Cardona will not participate in the stages of  Assumption  or  Buenos Aires , two major events on the South American tour.

A domino effect on the market for pairs

This prolonged absence comes amid an already unstable situation for the player. In recent weeks, Cardona had found himself at the center of a veritable game of musical chairs on the circuit.

The breaking point? The decision of  Javi leal  to end his association with him in order to form a new pair with  Fran Guerrero An option made possible after the latter's separation from  Paquito Navarro .

At the same time, another lead seemed credible to Cardona: the one leading to  Momo González he too is without a partner after his breakup with  Martín Di Nenno But again, market dynamics shifted, with González ultimately moving towards a partnership with  Lucas Campagnolo .

The result: even without injury, Cardona already found himself without a clear solution. His latest unavailability only exacerbates this difficult situation.

Asunción: Leal forced to adapt

The impact of this wave of injuries doesn't stop at Cardona.  Assumption ,  Javi leal  will also have to deal without  I fight Capra He too was forced to withdraw.

The Spaniard will therefore team up with  Agustin Torre A temporary partnership for this tournament. For his part, Capra hopes to recover in time to compete in the Argentinian leg, which could further reshuffle the cards for Leal.

A pivotal period for Cardona

For Pablo Cardona, the time for caution has arrived. With only a few months left in a season already largely disrupted, his health remains the clear priority.

But in a circuit where pair dynamics evolve very quickly, a prolonged absence can be costly in terms of performance. Upon his return, everything will have to be rebuilt: rhythm, bearings… and probably a new partnership.

An equation far from simple, at a time when the circuit Premier Padel has never been so competitive and unstable at the same time.
