Ligament injuries have become all too common: in just three months, 24 players from 14 teams in the Professional League Cup have already suffered this serious ailment. The recovery period typically lasts eight to ten months. “Various studies indicate that high stress levels increase the likelihood of developing an injury,” stated sports psychologist Sebastián Blasco, who has worked with Racing Club de Avellaneda, Ferrocarril Oeste, and the Argentine U-17 national football team, among others.
