In just over a week since Xavi Hernández took over the reins of the first team, a real revolution has been consummated within medical services. It all started last Monday with the dismissal of the head of physiotherapy, Juanjo Brau, and the head of the physical trainers, Albert Roca. Later, the casualties of Jaume Bartrés, physical trainer and person in charge of workloads, and Jordi Melero, analyst of the first team, were also confirmed. Likewise, the head of Barcelona’s physical preparation, Joan Ramon Tarrago, and the chief analyst, Raúl Peláez. Although in the case of the first they asked him to remain in office until January or until they find a replacement.
As well, As AS has learned, today a new discharge from medical services has been confirmed: the physiotherapist Xavi Linde. Its functions will be covered by the physio Jaume Munill, who has returned to the first team after spending two years in the futsal section.
Linde, just like Brau, he will be relocated to the club, so his new functions within the organization chart of medical services remain to be seen. Until now, Linde was recovering Pedri, but the Canarian player is about to enter into group work dynamics, so it has been waited for him to complete his rehabilitation to activate his exit.
And it will not be the last yet because, as we progress in AS, the strength physical trainer is in the air, Dani romero, as well as the medical manager of the first team, Lluis Til. In the case of the latter, Xavi is waiting to be able to recover his trusted doctor, Ricard Pruna, to head the direction of the club’s medical services.
