Jude Bellinghamand was injured in training yesterday, Friday, in Valdebebas. The English player suffered an injury at plantar thin muscle of his right leg, according to Real Madrid’s medical report. Although the club never gives a recovery period, all indications are that Bellingham will be out for a month.
What is surprising about this injury is that the pain the Englishman suffered occurred in a muscle that not everyone has. In fact, an estimated 10% of the world’s population has this muscle.
The plantar thin muscle This is a long, thin muscle that extends behind the knee and into the calf of the leg. Its function has generated and generates a medical debate. Some specialists consider that neither proprioceptive nor flexor function is affected when this muscle does not exist and, therefore, disappears.
What it has is the athlete Maria Vicente, who injured his Achilles tendon before the Paris Games. He was operated on in Barcelona by Dr. Jordi Puigdellívol, which refers to the presence of a thin plantar muscle in the athlete that favors the success of the intervention.
“There is a small muscle there called the plantar muscle, which if it is there, since not everyone has it, some of us have it and some don’t, the surgical technique helps a lot,” explained the doctor.
