He Barcelona He achieved, at the last minute of the third day of the Liga EA Sportsregister their only high-profile signing of this transfer window, Dani Elm. And it did not do so because it managed to get rid of enough wages with the different exits it undertook, such as those of Vitor Roque, Clement Lenglet o Ilkay Gundoganbut thanks to the lowering of Andreas Christensenconsidered to be injured for a long time after attending a medical commission The Liga who examined the Dane’s injury.
The Medical Commission of La Liga It is made up of the Dr. Fernandez Jaenhe Dr. Baro Pazos and the Dr. Perez San Roque, In addition to another member, the Dr. Ardevolwho has been left out of the equation in this case as he has a Barça past. The entity, independent in this case from Barcelona, has determined that the time of absence of Christensen It is four months after validating the medical reports presented by the club, which has allowed Laporta to invoke article 77, saving the Danish central defender’s salary and leaving room for Dani Elm.
It is a mechanism that has already been used by the Barcelona during this market when he was able to register Inigo Martínez y Pau Victoramong others, when they also discharged Ronald Araujo due to his long-term injury. The Catalan club has thus managed to register its players, releasing others and generating space and financial fair play, the same that it has not managed to generate from the technical secretariat with departures and transfers.
But what has raised some controversy is the situation with ChristensenThe Danish centre-back was injured a few days ago and, despite the fact that Barcelona He announced that they were physical problems and that their evolution would determine the timing of his return. In a matter of days, what was announced by various Catalan media as a maximum absence of two months has now become four months after the assessments of this Medical Commission of La Liga.
This is the Medical Commission of the League
The Medical Commission that Javier Tebas’s La Liga has turned to in order to validate the reports presented by Barça on Christensen’s injury is made up of four members. However, one of them has abstained from assessing the Dane’s physical problems. This is Dr. Jordi Ardevol, since he provided his services to the club for 16 years, between 1990 and 2006.
In it, there is the doctor Thomas Fernandez Jaen, who is deputy director of the Spanish School of Traumatology at UCAM, as well as consultant for the RFEF and head of the Sports Medicine Unit at the CEMTRO Clinic. Another of the doctors is Fernando Baro Pazos, founder of the traumatology clinic that bears his name and former president of the Spanish Society of Sports Traumatology. Finally, Dr. Juan Perez San Roque, traumatologist at the Alicante Hospital.
Christensen’s injury means Olmo is in the squad
It is true that Christensen I was suffering problems with his Achilles tendon since last season, something that has not been remedied this summer. That is why last week the Dane stopped training with his teammates, the club having decided to follow a treatment to solve these problems.
In fact, Which one Flick The German coach spoke about his physical problems ahead of the match against Athletic Bilbao and did not mention any long-term injury. “I have spoken and discussed what we see, he has some problem and that is why he has trained individually,” explained the German coach about the absence of Christensen in group training last week, explaining that he is counting on him: “He knows what position he is in. Last season he had problems, he played a lot, and we have to deal with those problems. He is a fantastic player and I want him to be 100% and help him to be 100%, and not just 60%.”
He Barcelona The Danish national team is hiding behind this maneuver by stating that the Dane is going to undergo a growth factor treatment, something that could lead to his absence being two or four months, according to the player. Given this possibility of extending his absence to four months, the Medical Commission of La Liga has given the go-ahead after analysing the medical tests submitted by Barcelona in its report.
Thus, the Barcelona once again falls into the trap of Article 77 of the Regulations for the preparation of budgetswhich explains that the “cost limit on the registrable sports squad or the registration capacity may be exceeded in one season” provided that the “registration is requested within 30 calendar days from the date of the player’s injury and that as a consequence of the injury, a disability of four months or more is expected from the time it occurred.”
