Part 2/10:
One of the most affected players has been De La Cruz, who faced repeated visits to the medical department—four times in total for issues ranging from shoulder pain to thigh injuries. He was only able to participate in 41 out of 73 games this season, being a starting player in 37 games and logging just over 3,000 minutes on the pitch. Notably, he was substituted in 28 of those matches, indicating that he only completed a full 90 minutes in nine games throughout the season. This level of usage highlights not only his importance to the team but also the burden of injuries plaguing the squad.
