20 - Dani Olmo

[DonAK]

Surely they do all that in a medical.

Why wait?

If it's the tech the NFL just recently started using then maybe all of it wasn't detected with the previous methods.

What is being reported now is what was reported they did with Pedri last summer.

I really hope this works out. Julio Tous did incredible job with Pedri and if he can do it with Olmo as well, then hats off; we're blessed with the guy.

Fully fit Olmo is an insane player. He makes us better everytime he plays. I really wish he was less injury prone.

Assume it's leg strength symmetry stuff where they check for muscle mass difference between both legs which can lead to more hamstring injuries.

Some athletes have shown to have a 15-20% difference in muscle mass between both legs when you ideally want it to be less than 10%. Maybe that's the case with Olmo. I know they've done an extensive study with funding on it in the States.

Do you have sources for this? Asymmetry as a cause for injuries has generally held poorly up lately compared to how important it used to be considered in the physio world

Unironically should be saved for the Copa + UCL games till end of season. Let Fermín deal with Laliga.
