Football clubs are determined to do everything to protect their stars from injuries. However, what can a team do if a player's problems are caused by the pitch itself?
Such a dilemma may soon be faced by the Madrid "Real" team. According to SportYou, the Madrid club is convinced that Gareth Bale's injuries are caused by the "Santiago Bernabeu" pitch.
Real Madrid has started an investigation, during which they hope to determine how the striker's muscles react to the hybrid surface installed at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium last summer, believing that it is the cause of Bale's recent calf injuries.
Due to the injury, Bale missed the last two "La Liga" matches. The player hopes to return to the pitch next week.
