Barça players had already been removed from the padel courts, from now on, ban on stepping on the floor for a basketball game.
Xavi Hernández, FC Barcelona coach and former emblematic player of the team, continues to wreak havoc at the head of his group. After skiing, mountain biking and padel, it is basketball that has been eliminated from the lives of Barcelona players. And for good reason: a spate of injuries among players, worrying the highest echelons of the club. Players are also no longer allowed to do weight training in their free time without being supervised!
Robert Lewandowski, Frenkie de Jong, Jules Kounde, Pedri, Ronald Araujo, Raphinha… the list of injured players is still long at FC Barcelona. Although not all of the players were injured during a padel match or any other activity, but rather during football training, the coach wants to prevent his players from accumulating too much fatigue at all costs.
If other clubs also seem impacted by this type of problem, such as Real Madrid, the subject seems important enough in the eyes of Xavi Hernández to look into it so seriously.
So, what will be the next prohibited activity for FC Barcelona players? To be continued…
It was her brother who one day told her to accompany him to a padel court, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the retransmission of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
