The footballer tried to arrive recovered from his injury until the last moment
The recovery process is long and they do not want to take any risks
Gerard Piqué wanted to play the Las Vegas classic (Saturday, 8:00 p.m. local time), but his presence has finally been ruled out so as not to run any kind of risk. He is doing well from his injury to the adductor of his left leg, but it is about an injury that is slow to heal and, if not treated well, could lead to relapse.
In fact, Piqué had been dragging discomfort for many weeks in the final stretch of the season. So many that he finally decided to stop. The last game he played was on May 1, against Mallorca, where he tested himself without being able to finish the first half. Days later, Barça confirmed that he was suffering from “an exacerbation of the long adductor tendinopathy of the left thigh.”
In that sense, and although during the tour of the United States there was some optimism about the option that he could have minutes against Real Madrid, they have chosen to be conservative. The season is long and Gerard has decided to return to being the same as before. For this you must be one hundred percent and any obstacle would take you away from your goal. In addition, this year will have a lot of competition.
