Arda Güler’s injury has internal repercussions: Real Madrid dismisses its chief medical officer, deemed responsible for the numerous player injuries.
Medical shake-up at Real Madrid: The club has made a radical decision to address the frequent setbacks of its players this season. According to Spanish press reports (MARCA), the Madrid-based club has decided to part ways with Niko Mihić, who has held the position of chief medical officer for six years.
The methods of the Croatian doctor, closely associated with Luka Modric and Florentino Perez, have come under scrutiny, raising doubts among some Merengue players. The surge in injuries since the start of the season, affecting key players such as Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Jude Bellingham, and particularly Arda Güler, currently in the infirmary, is said to have hastened this decision.
Real Madrid, keen to address this challenging situation, has opted for a major change in its medical staff.
