The medical services of FC Barcelona have not stopped working in this 2021-2022 season. All the culés players, except five, have been injured at least once so far this year

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The calendar, the physical requirements and the 'bad' luck have been a factor that has played against of the FC Barcelona in this season. The blaugrana go back to have the full infirmary, but is not a situation that only has happened in this end of season. By the contrary, carries repeating since it began, although it has existed a revolution in the sevicios medical.

The dismissals and 'signings' have not braked the plague of injuries in the Barça. And it is that, although now there is not one or two medical communiqués by week, the situation keeps on being alarming. Pedri González has been the last in returning to the infirmary, after having happened practically the first part of the season lesionado. The one of Tegueste suffers a split in the biceps femoral of the left thigh and has said goodbye to the course.

The case of Pedri is one of the most alarming, but the surprising is that until 33 players have gone through the infirmary in this season and that only five footballers have not gone through the infirmary: Sergio Busquets, Riqui Puig, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Dani Alves and Adama Traoré. Three of them, footballers that arrived in the market of wintry signings.

The one of Matadepera, for example, grieve and has played in this course, by what understands of some way that have not been lesionado in this season. Riqui Puig has contested only 380 minutes in what it goes of season and rare times has been headline. With Sergio Busquets himself that has been surprising, because the captain has played practically everything in what it goes of campaign: 44 parties and 3.790 minutes of action.

The signings have 'relieved' to the Barça

In the first stretch of the campaign each injury was a drama, because the staff was extremely short. So much Ronald Koeman like Sergi Barjuán and Xavi Hernández had to throw many times of the quarry for, literally, configure the alignment. Ez Abde, Ferran Jutglà or Ilias Akhomach were those who more 'benefited' of this crisis, although after the wintry signings (Dani Alves, Ferran Torres, Adama Traoré and Aubameyag) have relieved the situation for the Barça, especially because they arrived in a moment key, remembering that, at least, the club travelled to Mallorca (3 January) with 11 players of the first available team.

The incorporations have given depth to the staff. They have been available from his arrival and registration. In the case of Ferran Torres, in concrete, arrived lesionado pertinent of the Manchester City, but could not play, in concrete, because the Barça had not been able to inscribe him in the staff. The rest has managed without problems neither brush the infirmary... For fortune of Xavi Hernández and company.
