German coach Hans Flick, the head coach of FC Barcelona, has adopted a new plan aimed at preventing injuries by managing rest periods individually for each player, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo".

The newspaper explained that Flick granted an additional day of rest to Marcus Rashford, Frenkie de Jong, Jules Koundé, and Pau Cubarsi, due to their significant physical strain over the past weeks, while the rest of the players received one day of rest after the loss to Real Madrid in the El Clásico.

This decision is part of a precise plan implemented by the coaching staff to monitor physical loads and ensure a balance of effort among players, especially with the increasing pressure of matches and the rising number of injuries in the team recently.

The newspaper also noted that Pedri was supposed to receive the same break, but he went to the Joan Gamper Sports City for medical examinations and physiotherapy after recently suffering a muscle injury.

The aim of this individual management of rest periods is to maintain the readiness of Barcelona players and reduce the risk of injuries during a busy and challenging match schedule.
