Football is the most followed and most practiced sport in the world. And it turns out to be the sport with the highest number of injuries. The most frequent injuries in football are muscle traumas; followed by blunt trauma, knee and ankle sprains and finally fractures.
Those who work on injuries have generally established a timescale for recoveries: for example, for a mild sprain of the ankle we are talking about days, for a strain from 4-5 days up to 45 days.
Recovery times for a torn muscle in a football player vary from a few days to several months, depending on the degree Recovery depends on the severity, location and type of injury, with a safe return to sport often taking longer to minimize the risk of recurrence. For example, in the case of a sub-total or total muscle breakdown, severe pain, hematoma, functional impotence, are necessary dseveral months, even beyond 3-6 months, often with surgery. This year in Serie A we heard about the injuries of Lukaku (stopped since September), by De BruyneOf Vlaovic, Dumfriesecc.
The times become more complicated for knee injuries with on average shorter times for the meniscus and longer for cruciate ligament rupture. Almost always in these cases the season is lost as in the case of the former Turin player Belotti.
But in some cases the times become truly unpredictable: Arcadius Belongs Juventus striker is breaking many records the date of his last appearance on the pitch in an international friendly between Poland and Ukraine was June 7, 2024. From that day the Juve striker never returned to play. An endless series of physical problems stopped him, the last one last June, when he underwent meniscus surgery. He returned to the group in December after 550 days and stopped again although this time the recovery times seem rapid.
Domenico Berardi leader of Sassuolo was injured two years ago and was absent from the pitch for 7 and a half months; he returned but due to a muscle injury he will have to remain out until February
Let’s move on to talking about the local cases that have become topical again in recent days because they will force teams to return to the market.
In Bassano the injury has truly become a difficult mystery to understand Issa Ouro Agoudastriker born in 1992: according to the transfermarket.it website, Issa’s absence has now lasted for 414 days, over a year and two months. The former red and white youth player was at Campodarsego last year with whom he played 14 matches and scored two goals. Then the injury and he hasn’t recovered since then. And now Bassano seems intent on considering terminating the contract.
The other case is that of GianMarco Cavaliere striker in 2001. After the exhibition season with Chiampo (32 goals in 30 games played) he moved to Montecchio where he began to suffer from back problems. He lost the entire last championship between analyses, choices, therapies, visits. After Montecchio’s relegation to Eccellenza he was the only player confirmed: he worked all summer to be ready and on 15 September Mr. Plumitallo sent him onto the field in the 84th minute of the match against Porto Viro. And the striker immediately rediscovered his sense of goal: in 6 minutes played he scored 2 goals, rediscovering his former glory.

But the via crucis of this boy who deserves better luck has not yet ended: an immediate relapse made him return to the pits and today Montecchio announced the arrival of Emilio Brunazzithe expert former Bassano and Oppeano striker, precisely to overcome the new stoppage of the former Arzignano.
Other injuries that ended the championship early were those of the Arzignano striker Alberto Basso Ricci, of the defender of Berton Bolzano Pietro Zonta, of the defender of Leodari Caldogno Marco Ferrari, of the Fides attacker Arbi Kasmi, of the Longare goalkeeper Alessandro Zordan.

Other particular cases were those of the defender Tommaso Bortot who due to repeated injuries decided to return to his first love, athletics and to leave football at just 28 years old.
