Henry Martín opens up on the ordeal he endured with his injury | OneFootball

Henry Martin has undoubtedly lived one of the worst years of his career with constant injuries and a low performance that left him out for several games.

What seemed like a simple injury that only required a little rest, turned into something of months and constant relapses to the point that just playing a few minutes would cause him an injury again.

But now that he has recovered from everything, the captain spoke to the press about what happened revealing that at times he did not know what was happening to him to the point that he even came to believe in supernatural things.

“It's very hard, it hits you emotionally, it makes you desperate. I couldn't understand what was happening to me because it wasn't just one injury, I would recover from one, return to training, get hit in the head with a ball and hurt my knee. What's happening to me? I can't understand. You start to think things that you normally don't think, supernatural things. You say, what is happening? Isn't it incredible that this is happening to me? And then when you recap everything I've lived through, well, I really haven't stopped for several years”, he assured.

He also pointed out that since December he has been dragging injuries and this has been prolonged practically until a few weeks ago where he had returned and again relapsed into the injury.

“Since December, last year to here, I have been playing with injuries, rushing from injuries to be able to be there. I was about to have surgery on my Achilles tendon, fortunately I managed to skip it, but obviously I was playing six months with the Achilles tendon about to break. This is not known, but you overload other areas and that causes you a lot of discomfort.

“And yes, the mind also takes its toll because you start to get desperate, you start to get frustrated. You want to be there before time, I start training before time, a week or two weeks before and you relapse. It's inevitable. The time came when Andre (Jardine) spoke to me, when the technical staff and the board spoke and said: 'if you have to take a month of recovery, take it, but when you come back you will not stop anymore'”, were his words.

But the good news is that Henry is now indeed recovered and will even be part of the call for the National Classic although it is most likely that he will be on the bench.
