Barcelona players to undergo additional dental check-ups under German boss Hansi Flick. Barcelona’s German coach Hansi Flick is introducing new methods to the Blaugrana. Including checking the players’ dental health during a medical test on Wednesday, Diario AS reported on Thursday UFABET
Medical tests normally include a foot, heart, blood, urine and general physical examination. But Flick has also requested an additional check of the player’s dental health. Something that has never happened with the Blaugrana before.
The German trainer’s reason for this is that. He and his coaching staff believe dental health can have a significant impact on a player’s health as well. According to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, almost four in five English footballers suffer from gum inflammation. Which can be caused by toothache and crooked teeth. Which affects digestion because they are unable to chew food effectively. And it can affect muscles and nutrient retention.
According to sources, former LA Lakers basketball star Pau Gasol needs to get braces at the request of the Purple-Gold team to eliminate the problem.
Flick is currently working with just nine first-team players due to international commitments and injuries. With youth players and players from Barca Athletic now being called up for pre-season training.
