Bayern Munich world class goalkeeper Manuel Neuer picked up an ankle capsular injury in the SuperCup and missed training, with his availability for the weekend in doubt. The ankle capsule surrounds the ankle and along with the ligaments, provides stability during movement. It’s like a ligamentous bag surrounding the joint. Like ligaments, the joint capsule can be damaged as well - whether it’s overstretched with tearing (sprained) or jammed, called “impingement”. In Neuer’s case, his availability and return will depend on the type of injury - if it’s a sprain, what’s the severity? If it is impingement, is it anterior or posterior? Based on his current indefinite timeline, it sounds like Bayern’s medical team is continuing to assess and ankle injuries can evolve quickly day to day so keep an eye out on Neuer’s activity level in the coming days. I’ll keep you updated as we learn more.
Euros 2021 Italy vs Belgium | Explained: Leonardo Spinazzola injury
Football (soccer) injury expert Dr. Raj, DPT details Euros 2021 injury of Italy LB Leonard Spinazzola (achilles tendon rupture) including the typical return timeline for elite footballers and what the research says on post-injury performance | Football (soccer) injury analysis For reference, I’m a DPT (Doctor of Physio), sports scientist, researcher, youth football (soccer) coach, mindfulness enthusiast and owner of 3CB Performance —providing sports medicine, performance, and mindfulness services online and in-person at clinics in West LA and Valencia, CA.

Italian LB Leonardo Spinazzola suffered an achilles tendon injury vs Belgium, feared to be an achilles rupture. The mechanism of injury was a unique one with the player injuring the tendon while sprinting and taking an awkward step with his foot and lower leg outwardly rotated and then stumbling afterwards. Typically, achilles ruptures in footballers occur during first step acceleration. The average return to play for footballers is 7-8 months but there can be downstream effects - such as differences in calf strength - for as long as 2 years. Research on post-achilles rupture performance in elite footballers shows that most don’t get back to their prior level of performance until the 2nd season after returning. In Spinazzola’s case, he already has an extensive injury history so that timelines may be prolonged. I really feel for Leonardo because not only is this a serious injury with an extensive rehab but he was playing so, so well in the Euros with reported interest from major clubs. I wish him the best both mentally and physically.

We have an update on Ukraine’s Artem Besedin who suffered a gruesome looking knee injury vs Sweden. The Ukranian team doctor relayed that the the player has a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) along with a non-displaced fracture of the femoral condyles (the rounded farther ends of the thigh bone that make up one part of the knee joint, along with the tibia). The reported timeline is around six months for the player to return to training and overall it’s very good news because there are no full ruptures involved.

During the Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks game 2 Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup, Kevin Durant (KD) put on a nasty sequence vs Giannis - a triple hesi hop double cross into an and-1 midrange jumper. The play highlights key skills, details, and biomechanics of KD’s game that any hooper can learn from. Lets take a closer look. The sequence starts with KD mini-hopping off his left leg - the same hand as the dribble - into a hesitation (hesi) and then left to right dribble crossover. He goes into another hop hesi here and this angle is much cleaner so lets break this one down. The hesi-hop setup does four key things: 1 - It generates a rhythm that optimizes the rest of KD’s movements. In movement science speak, it “primes the system” 2 - Creates deception because KD sets up the same way each time which limits the tells so the defender is guessing and/or reacting, as Giannis is here - a step behind. The hesi is the trunk KD”s movement tree and everything else branches off of it. 3 - It gives KD more time to read the defender’s reaction, process, and then proceed accordingly. Information is power. Here KD sees that Giannis is trying to catchup after the first cross so double crosses back over - dropping his hips to lower his center of gravity which results in better balance and change of direction and coming onto the inside of his left ankle to more completely deload that leg. 4 - Now we’re at the final sequence and fourth and final key - biomechanical advantages. KD hops off the same hand as his dribble because it allows him to use the other leg to push-off downhill, staying up on his forefoot with the downward force from the hop pre-tensioning the achilles and calf complex to generate a powerful forward thrust - aka the stretch-shorten cycle or SSC - that quickly shifts weight to his lead left leg. His left knee extensors - mainly the quads - and calf complex are now loaded to generate a powerful stretch shorten cycle and he’s up on his right forefoot (hard to see here) to again tension the achilles and calf complex. He quickly springs upwards having created enough space to get a clean look and it’s cash from there. That’s a bad man.
*JAMES HARDEN INJURY UPDATE * Why "Hamstring Tightness" is Good News
NBA injury expert Dr. Raj, DPT details Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden injury update (“hamstring tightness”) including why that’s good news overall and multiple reasons the Nets are being prudent with his return timeline || NBA injury breakdown For reference, I’m a DPT (Doctor of Physio), youth basketball coach, sports scientist, movement expert, researcher, mindfulness enthusiast and owner of 3CB Performance —providing sports medicine, performance, and mindfulness services online and in-person at clinics in West LA and Valencia, CA.

This is actually good news because it indicates Harden’s MRI on the hamstring very likely didn’t show any tearing, ruling out a grade 2 or 3 hamstring injury. However, a grade 1 injury - which typically comes with a 7-14 day return - still can’t be ruled out because micro-tears that can characterize grade 1 injuries may not show up on imaging. That grey area along with this being James’ third problem with that hamstring this season, how Harden’s initial hamstring issue this year was diagnosed as “tightness” and then evolved into a higher severity issue once he tried to play on it, and the Nets having a 1-0 lead in the series all points towards the Nets medical staff being cautious with his return.
Is Anthony Davis playoffs ready & near 100% healthy? Expert explains

Lakers superstar Anthony Davis has been back on the floor for about 3.5 weeks after missing nearly 3 months. AD getting back on the floor and ramping up was critical for the team’s repeat hopes and I broke down how he’s looking in key movement components heading into the play-in game. Straight line speed AD has shown really good progress with his straight line speed on the court, whether that’s longer sprints for top end speed or on short recovery burst sprints. Change of direction AD continues to show improvement in his change of direction and getting back to his unique movement skills for a player of his size. Lateral movement Davis’ has been moving really well laterally. Jumping A key issue for AD when he returned was limited lift and limited rebound jumps but he’s progressed with both significantly. Contact/leverage A key thing I look for is how a player is responding to contact when they return from injury. AD is becoming more and more confident in absorbing and delivering contact. Acceleration Davis continues to progress with his acceleration and first step. If you remember, he reaggravated his achilles issue = on an acceleration so this progress gives a lot of insight into his improved health. Reaction AD’s reaction time and acclimation to game speed continues to improve. Rhythm and fluidity One of the last things to return after an extended absence is rhythm and fluidity in movements. AD is progressively showing each in all facets of his game. Confidence Last but certainly not least is confidence. After a long layoff or scary injury, players can have kinesiophobia (aka fear of movement or reinjury) which limits their movement. AD continues to show he’s over that fear with a variety of incredible plays. This bodes really well for the Lakers’ repeat hopes
