Tensions between Gasperini and Roma’s medical staff | OneFootball

In addition to recent conflicts with Claudio Ranieri, Gasperini has frequently had tensions with the medical staff over injury management in the second half of the season.

As reported by Il Messaggero, the conflict erupted over decisions made to address the physical issues of several key players. The case that first sparked controversy concerns Ferguson, who was struggling with ankle problems.

The management of the injury reportedly led to disagreements between the coach and the medical staff, as recovery times and decisions on treatment options were not consistently agreed upon.

From there, the issue spread to other cases, considered more sensitive and handled with contrasting approaches.

One of the main points of contention concerns the timing and method of intervention on players with physical problems. Gasperini expressed doubts about the management of Dovbyk and Dybala, believing that too much time was wasted before making definitive decisions regarding the need for surgery or alternative recovery paths.

These doubts further fueled conflict between the coach and the medical team, which adopted a more cautious approach.

As for Soulé, who is dealing with pubalgia, the medical team was limited in its scope, as it is a complex issue to manage quickly.

Hermoso’s situation, however, has proven even more delicate. In recent months, the defender has often forced his return to the field, despite his less than optimal physical condition, incurring various physical problems.
