The tragedy of Barça's injury crisis is that Xavi had made injury prevention a central component of his training regime this season.
Barça's success in snuffing out muscular injuries was largely down to the tireless effort of Team Doctor Ricard Pruna, Physical trainer Evan Torres, and Physiotherapist Carlos Noguera in concert with a team of 7 physical therapists.
Barça's medical team uses innovative player wearables such as the Oura Ring which monitors player heart rate, movement, and sleep patterns.
The medical team also uses GPS data to keep track of player effort and coordinate rest periods and squad rotations.
Before this week, Barça players had sustained only two injuries: to Ferran & Auba. These were both related to events off the pitch.
Hopefully, the team can get through the rest of October without any more additions to the infirmary.
