International break causes injuries to 60 players across major European leagues

The recent international break has resulted in significant physical setbacks for professional footballers across Europe's top leagues. At least 60 players from the five major leagues have reported physical issues, with the Premier League seeing 16 cases, Serie A 14, and La Liga 13.

In Spain, major clubs are managing various player concerns. FC Barcelona is monitoring Raphinha, who suffered a minor muscle edema, and Eric García, who returned to Spain due to knee discomfort. Real Madrid is also observing players following French national team duties, including Kylian Mbappé, who experienced knee capsule hyperextension, and Ibrahima Konaté.

As club competitions resume, teams like Liverpool face a demanding schedule. Following the break, Liverpool enters a nine-match stretch involving the Premier League, Champions League, and League Cup, testing the squad's depth and the management of Andoni Iraola during a period of structural rebuilding.
