Yonatan Cohen (Radad Jabara)
The star of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Yonatan Cohen, underwent today (Sunday) the first of two imaging tests he will undergo, which shows that he suffers from an opening of the scar in the quadriceps muscle, a reminder of the small tear from which he recovered. Cohen has completed a number of full training sessions before it is decided to return him to the squad and place him in the starting lineup. He abandoned training and suffered from pain in the same place and there was a fear of a bigger or new rupture. The first examination showed an opening of the scar and the duration of the absence has not yet been determined but will probably be at least about two to three weeks, as in the first injury.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, where there was a great fear of a bigger rift that would lead to a prolonged absence. In any case, Cohen will continue treatment in the coming days before deciding whether he can return to training. Hapoel Beer Sheva after him. It should be noted that he needs to undergo another examination to really rule out the aggravation of the injury and that it is a final and absolute opening of the muscle scar as a reminder of the small tear that healed.
As for the type of injury, opening of the scar, it should be explained that in injuries of a muscle tear, when it heals there is a “scarring” of the spot. One of the sports injuries that happens more to players who return after such a muscle injury, is a recurrent injury in the same place without contact but as a result of activity and effort and in fact the scar formed in the muscle after it has healed, reopens. In some cases, as feared by Maccabi Tel Aviv, the scar becomes a more severe rupture. And the recovery rate of the place is what will mark the way.
