Andrea Pirlo will lose his metronome for at least two weeks. This, in a nutshell, is Arthur’s situation, struggling with a calcification in his right leg which at the moment causes him too much pain to be able to train. But it is a quite unique situation that deserves one specific explanation.
In fact, as explained by a Tuttosport the professor. Tencone, who in the past also worked for Juventus, there are hundreds of athletes who normally continue their sporting activity even with calcifications, which are the result of common and not very serious injuries such as muscle contusions (Arthur had missed the trip to Parma in December for a bruise on his right thigh) and which normally they do not cause major discomfort. Unfortunately, however, that the Brazilian midfielder calcification has formed in an “atypical” point, that is the membrane between the tibia and fibula, where it hurts much more than in other cases.
Now Arthur, as the today explains Courier Turin, there is a crossroads: stay out for 15 days, evaluate the effects of the conservative therapies he is subjected to and grit his teeth living with calcification, with the unknowns related to the pain threshold that may eventually reappear in the leg; or undergo a surgery, which would certainly give him the certainty of removing the problem, but also that of staying away from the fields for much more than two weeks. And with the warm phase of the season upon us, he will think about it a lot more than twice.
