Martin Braithwaite’s knee injury is causing a lot of confusion, annoyance and concern at Barcelona, ​​it knows ASH to be revealed on Monday. The Danish forward was recently injured against Getafe (2-1 win) and it became clear on Sunday that the recovery time will be three to four months. Braithwaite’s name has been added to a ‘blacklist of players who have been out of Barcelona for a long time’.

In the last two years, wrong conclusions have been drawn in the medical field about injuries, forcing several players to rehabilitate much longer than necessary. ASH refers in that context to the long-term injuries of Gerard Pique, Ronald Araújo, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho, among others.

The Spanish newspaper takes a closer look at Braithwaite’s knee injury and notes several painful misses. Tests shortly after the duel with Getafe showed that the injury of the striker was not serious. The inflammation in the cartilage of the knee was apparently overlooked by the doctors. The medical staff of the Danish national team was told that Braithwaite would recover with sufficient rest. A conservative approach led by the doctors of Barcelona was preferred, it sounds from Spain.

Braithwaite was advised to simply rejoin the selection of trainer Ronald Koeman on Saturday. A day later, however, the thirty-year-old attacker suffered a lot from his knee. A short time later it was announced that the international from Denmark will have to rehabilitate for months. ASH blames the doctors, among other things, because the correct diagnosis has not been made.
