The FC Barcelona board recently added a luxury reinforcement to the coaching staff led by Xavi Hernández. The club now has the services of Raúl Martínez, a physiotherapist with a long career in the National Team
The muscular injuries have been a problem without solution in the FC Barcelona all the 2023/24. From the drop of Iñigo Martínez in the pre-season, at least ten footballers culés have suffered some important injury, being the drop of Gavi the most prolonged. Waiting for the returns of Marc-André ter Stegen and Raphinha in front of the Granada, six players are still in the infirmary culé, with Balde and Gavi 'KO' until the summer.
In this sense, the Barça has decided to add to his staff technical to the recognised fisioterapeuta Spanish Raúl Martínez. His long path with the Spanish Selection (more than a decade with The Red) have carried to several referents culés to treat , to enclosed eyes, with the fisioterapeuta, between them Pedri and Ansu Fati. With his incorporation to the club, Martínez will supervise the recoveries of Balde and Gavi with greater detail.
Xavi did not doubt in adding to Raúl Martínez to the technical body
The own Xavi Hernández was the first in giving the seen well to the incorporation of Raúl to his staff, since the fisioterapeuta treated him when the egarense was active with The Red. Other referents blaugranas, as Carles Puyol and Andrés Iniesta, also went through the hands of Martínez when they suffered physical problems, to the equal that Cesc Fàbregas, Sergio Busquets and David Villa.
The own Ansu Fati, in the middle of his ordeal of injuries between 2020 and 2021, did not doubt in travelling at least four days to the week to Madrid to treat with the prestigious fisioterapeuta and the recuperador Joaquín Juan, a decision endorsed so much by the club as by Jorge Mendes, with the one who Martínez sustains a good relation. In this way, the Barça adds a reinforcement of luxury for his technical body in the most important moment of the season.
