Is it possible to play in a top club after torn "crosses" on both knees?
Today, Juventus will play its second match in the Champions League, and two medical phenomena can start the match for the second time: Mattia Perin and Arkadiusz Milik.
What do these two players have in common? Both of them have a history of torn "crosses" on both knees in the medical card.
The goalkeeper tore his ligaments twice with an interval of a year while still in Genoa, and the Pole first faced this problem in Napoli and then in Marseille.
These cases confirm the scientific statistics about the risk of identical injury to the opposite knee after torn cruciates. According to different sources, this risk ranges from 5% to 30%.
However, it should be emphasized that none of these players came as the main player of the team. Perin came in as Szczesna's reserve, and Milik was taken in the final minutes of the transfer window to double up for Vlahovic. That is, transfers were carried out taking into account all risks.
Despite this, the guys proved that with such a wild medical card, you can get to a top club.
