That Dr. Fink in Innsbruck usually does the surgeries for the international downhill skiers and is the team doctor of the ÖSV - the Austrian skiing association. But other international skiing stars like Lindsey Vonn go there, too.
We should have sent mendy to see him
 
I assume Cugat performed the surgery on Mendy's damaged ACL. That went well didn't it. I'm not surprised Leroy won't touch him with a bargepole.

For me the name Cugat has a bad feel since the Thiago story when they tried to cure the knee injury without surgery and with Cortison to have him fit for the World Cup - and that backfired and took Thiago out for a whole year.

And in the past the other German players that played outside of Germany always used the German doctors and often even made their rehab in Germany - no matter if they played for Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal...

Didn't Pep fall out with Bayern's choice of surgeons because their work wasn't up to the standard he was used to in Catalunya? I'm sure your longstanding club doctor 'resigned' as a result.

So the club gave him treatment for the benefit of the national team to their own detriment?

No. The Bayern doctor is a muscle specialist. I think the main topic was that MW is in his "area" that what Pep is in football. He is not just the Bayern doctor but the doctor the big athletes from all nations come to - be it Bolt and the track and field stars, skiers, footballers, tennis players, Formula one stars etc. Pep and him just did not match - two big egos. And whereas MW is more cautious, Pep likes to rush players back onto the field.

The players did not care that much that MW resigned - they went to him anyways...
 
No blame attached to Sane in my view. It’s his knee and his career on the line, nor do I blame him if he wants to move.Most people if they were offered a job supposedly paying a lot more and a chance to return to his own country would do the same. It’s a short career at the top. City will survive without him if he goes. Hopefully we will get a decent fee for him that is imperative

Ilkay being the obvious counterexample

So Pep ignores the advice of doctors you mean ?
