The injury situation at Juventus remains alarming, with the team constantly losing key players due to enforced breaks. A recent example is Cambiaso, sidelined after ankle problems. This large number of injuries gives rise to numerous theories about the underlying causes.
Among fans and commentators, various opinions are circulating. Some believe that poor pre-season preparation is the main culprit, rather than placing blame on the head coach. Others point to potential issues with the medical staff, suggesting that they may not have been updated or changed recently enough to meet modern demands.
The discussion also includes the effectiveness of summer training sessions conducted in intense heat. Some argue that such conditions can provoke muscle problems and fatigue, proposing a return to training camps held in cooler, mountainous areas.
Furthermore, there are those who speculate that some players might not be sufficiently willing to “endure” pain or show the required dedication, perhaps even simulating injuries. Comparisons are drawn between the recovery speed of Juventus players and those from other clubs after suffering similar types of injuries.
Past events are also recalled, such as when a former coach (Sarri) reportedly asked the club management to change the medical staff. Overall, many observers agree that there is a need to identify the systematic reasons behind the persistent injury problems, whether they stem from preparation methods, medical support, or even the players` mentality.
The current season is widely perceived as challenging, with some commentators going as far as to label it “cursed” due to the continuous setbacks from player absences.
