  • Jules Koundé - Biceps femoris muscle injury of the hamstring group.  It's not been a good start for Jules at  Barça .  After undergoing sportsman’s hernia surgery in June 2022 while with former club Sevilla, he went straight into rehab at Barça following the operation. He recovered enough to return to training and become involved in the league game against Real Valladolid at the end of August. This latest injury sustained with the French national team shows how much he has struggled with his match fitness due to missing most of Barça's pre-season.
  • Ronald Araujo - Avulsion fracture of the adductor longus tendon in the right hip and thigh. The injury was sustained while playing for Uruguay in the match against Iran in late September.
  • Frenkie de Jong - Substituted against Poland on the 22nd of September with muscular overload. The Netherlands medical team were assessing his fitness prior to his early return to Barça for treatment.

Cádiz

Celta de Vigo

  • Gonzalo Paciencia - Biceps femoris muscle injury of the right hamstring group sustained in training at the end of August. He missed the Girona match a few days later and is likely to be out for roughly six weeks.

The hamstring injury allowed him the time to have the operation without missing any more training days

  • Andrés Martín - Currently unavailable due to a dislocated shoulder and working hard in rehabilitation.
  • Raúl de Tomás aka RDT -  injury to an adductor muscle of the hip and thigh and did not play in any of Espanyol’s opening two league games.  Having moved back to Vallecas, RDT is continuing his rehab with the Rayo Vallecano medical staff.
  • Pep Chavarría - Severe bruising of the lower  back
  • Salvi Sánchez - Injury to the calf muscle


Real Madrid

  • Lucas Vázquez -  Injury to the gracilis muscle of the right thigh sustained (x) and currently having treatment for a muscular strain. Although not as commonly injured as the quads and hamstrings, gracilis muscle injuries happen in football due to the quick changes of direction and the involvement of that muscle with the hamstrings.
  • Luka Modrić - Injury to the hip
  • Karim Benzema - Injury to the the tendinous aspect of the semitendinosis muscle of the right hamstring group, and also to the quadriceps muscle of the right thigh.  Both injuries were sustained against Celtic in the Champions League match on the 6th September 2022. The hamstring injury was originally reported as a knee injury as that is what Karim apppeared to be holding at the time he called for assistance, but on returning to Madrid subsequent MRI scans showed an injury to the semitendinosis muscle instead. There is a strong correlation between the knee and injuries to the semitendinosis muscle. The reason for this is that the tendon of the semitendinosus muscle passes across the back of the knee and inserts on the head of the tibia, or shin bone. As one of the hamstring muscles that bend the knee, the tendinous part of the muscle lies very close to the joint line of the knee and this is the area where meniscus cartilage tears occur. You could see Karim at the time shaking his knee to see if it was going to lock or give way and then very carefully taking his weight through it before coming off. Real Madrid have investigated Karim's injury thoroughly and will monitor his recovery, as a semitendinosis muscle injury is often a differential diagnosis for knee pain and vice versa. 
  • David Alaba - Substituted against France while playing for Austria on the 22nd of September due to muscular overload.


Real Mallorca

  •  Dominik Greif – Injury to the right ankle sustained on the first day of pre-season training on the 14th of July 2022 and still currently unavailable. Dominik is working hard in rehabilitation and a return to full training is now in sight.
  • Kadawere - Injury to the quadriceps muscle of the thigh.
  • Matija Nastasić  - injured in the warm-up before the game with  Almería in mid-September.
  • Rodrigo Battaglia - Muscular overload
  • Amath Ndiaye – Currently unavailable due to an infection of the little toe of the right foot, which originally affected him last season while at Tenerife. Amath is currently on strong anti-biotics for the infection. The club and Amath are currently looking at all treatment possibilities and I understand that one potential option being considered as a solution is amputation of the toe. The medical staff at the club stress that this would not necessarily prevent Amath from making a return to play if surgery goes ahead and that he should return to full fitness following the appropriate rehabilitation.


Real Valladolid

  • Luis Pérez - Currently out of action with Osteitis pubis, which is a painful condition that affects the bony origin of the adductor muscles of the hip and thigh on the pubic bone. The diagnosis often overlaps with pubalgia which tends to refer to the tendinous aspect of the adductor insertion as opposed to the bone.
  • Sergio Asenjo - Fracture of the middle finger of the right hand.
  • Anuar Tuhami - Currently awaiting ACL surgery to the right knee following an injury sustained in the friendly with Osasuna in Burgos on the 23rd of September 2022. The knee is swollen therefore surgery is expected to take place in around a week's time once this susides.
  • Lucas Olaza - Muscular overload.
  • Roque Mesa - Cervicalgia, which basically means means neck pain.  This can either be a muscular strain from heading or contact, or stiff and painful vertebral joints.


Real Sociedad

  • Robin Le Normand - Injury to the metatarsal bone of the foot
  • Ander Martín - Currently in rehabiltation  following meniscal surgery to the knee
  • Umar Sadiq - Currently in rehabilitation following ACL surgery to the knee

  • Ander Barrenetxea - Stretchered off against Alavés on the 2nd  of January with a severe injury to the tendinous aspect of one of the left hamstring muscles. Ander is still working at his rehabilitation under the guidance of the Real Sociedad medical team.    
  • Martín Merquelanz  - Left knee injury sustained  while on loan at Rayo Vallecano and the injury went to surgery in September 2021, performed by Dr Mikel Sánchez in Vitoria. Martin returned to training at Rayo in towards the end of the season but things weren’t right and he underwent a second knee operation in 10th May 2022 to address damage to the articular cartilage of the knee. This operation was at the Clinic Cemtro in Madrid and was performed by Dr Pedro Guillén. The operation consisted of an autologous chondrocyte implant which is designed to regenerate and strengthen the existing cartilage. Martin has had knee problems in the past and has previously undergpne ACL surgery on both knees in the past. He is now working at his rehabilitation following the cartilage implant but there is normally a long recovery process associated with this procedure.
  • Mohamed Ali Cho - Injury to the hamstring muscles of the thigh sustained with France under-21 team in training and returned immediately to San Sebastian.
