FC Barcelona has been hit with a rash of muscle injuries, many to the same muscle, leading doctors and fans alike to wonder what the root cause is.
Many players have suffered an injury to the biceps femoris muscle. Raphinha, Pedri, Iñigo Martínez, Ferran Torres, and Alejandro Balde have all been affected. This is a muscle in the thigh, one of the hamstring muscles, located in the back.
Not all of Barcelona’s injuries are of this same variety, but many are. And worse, a lot of the injuries have occurred in a short period of time.
