Exclusive: The angels that look after Ousmane Dembele
Two physios in particular are in charge of looking after the French winger
Juan Carlos Pérez, aka 'Chechu', is the son of a legendary Barcelona player
When you talk about Ousmane Dembele's injury you quickly come to the Finnish surgeon, Sakari Orava, who operated on him on September 20, who has become the only 'official' spokesman for the player's injury, with the club's medical services forbidden from speaking.
However there are a lot of people who are doing as much as possible to help Dembele with his final objective - recovering successfully. We are talking about the club's physios, the first team has seven in total, and more specifically Xavi Linde and Juan Carlos Perez, who are working directly with the club's most expensive ever signing.
Linde is a veteran, arriving from Espanyol in the summer of 2014 after working at the CAR in Sant Cugat, while Perez is in his first summer with the first team. Juan Carlos, known as Chechu, is the son of legendary former Barcelona player Juan Carlos Perez 'Rojo', whose career was cut short because of injury.
29 years old, Chechu started with the amateur rugby section of Barcelona, moving on to football sala, to the B team with Gerard Lopez and now the first team. The toughest moment in his life came when his elder sister Raquel died in an air accident at Barajas in August 2008. Raquel was one of the air hostess', and it happened while Juan Carlos, 20, was playing in midfield at Santboia.
