Nico Mihic, who had been at the club since 2017, leaves his position due to the Güler case, according to Marca.
The relapse of several players in the last year has led the club to dispense with the services of the Croatian doctor
Real Madrid has decided to dismiss the head of its medical services Nico Mihic. The Croatian doctor had been at the club since 2017 and he had a close relationship with Florentino Pérez and some players like Luka Modric. The trigger for the cessation has been relapses of some players in the last year, but especially that of Arda Gülerwhich has led the Madrid entity to dispense with their services, according to Marca.
Güler’s injury has dynamited the relationship between the club and its head of medical services, but it is not the only problem. The Turkish player arrived at the team with a meniscus injury and the decision was for him to follow conservative treatment which included the player in the preseason expedition on the tour of the United States. Güler trained alone until he found that he was not improving, so he returned to Spain.
HE ENDED UP GOING THROUGH THE OPERATING ROOM
Once in Madrid, it took another 15 days to operate it following this conservative treatment, so it delayed his recovery more than it should.. The Croatian doctor I was in favor of not interveningbut in the end he had to go through the operating room after consulting other specialistslike Dr. Leyes, who was also in charge of operating on Militao and Courtois for their injuries to the cruciate ligaments in their knees.
This lack of agility was later compounded by two relapses. that the player has suffered, with different muscle injurieswhich caused discrepancies in treatment that the player had to follow among the physical trainers, readapters, physios and Mihic himself, according to the Madrid newspaper. But The ‘Güler case’, which has been the trigger, is not the only one that have caused doubts in Real Madrid about his work, since the relapses of other players in the last year (Alaba, Carvajal, Mendy, Ceballos, Benzema…) have led to this drastic decision.
