Yamal is rumored to have refused surgery! Lessons from the two Barcelona geniuses lie ahead

Yamal’s problem with pubic discomfort continues. This injury is quite special - he can still play, but as long as he moves and runs normally, he will feel pain and his athletic ability will be limited.

The medical team has recommended that Yamal undergo surgery to cure the problem, but the surgery may sideline him for several months. The youngster can also choose conservative treatment, which will allow him to continue competing while gradually regaining his physical fitness.

However, there are obvious risks with conservative treatment: if Yamal continues to compete frequently, the injury is likely to be further aggravated.

According to reliable sources, Yamal is currently not considering surgery to treat the injury. However, if the discomfort does not subside in the coming weeks, he will work with the club to assess the possibility of surgery. The team has previously conducted external consultations to understand the help that surgery can bring, but there has been no substantial progress so far.

Barcelona fan Rafael Hernandez believes that Yamal is risking his career with this move. He also issued a warning to the young superstar: "Fati refused surgery at the beginning, and we all know the outcome; later Garvey had to undergo surgery, and his post-operative condition will never return to his previous state. Now Yamal is standing at a crossroads, alas."

Yamal may be able to achieve normal recovery through conservative treatment, but the risks involved obviously cannot be underestimated.

Case 1: Ansu Fati - The price of refusing surgery

On November 9, 2020, Barcelona Football Club issued an injury announcement, which completely changed the fate of another Barcelona teenager. The announcement reads as follows: "First-team player Fati successfully underwent surgery for medial meniscus injury in his left knee under the supervision of the club's medical team and performed by Dr. Ramon Cugat. The player is expected to be sidelined for about 4 months."

But the actual situation is that Ansu's sideline time is not a few months, but close to a year. Now 23 years old, his condition has never returned to the level before the injury.

Case 2: Garvey - It is difficult to return to the peak even after surgery

The protagonist of another case is Garvey. He was once one of the most competitive midfielders of his generation, but after undergoing surgery, his condition also plummeted and he could never regain his former glory.
