At Bayern’s training ground, a small detail is making a big difference: players frequently wear skin-coloured patches on their earlobes because the club takes blood samples before and even during sessions. By tracking lactate and creatine kinase levels in real time, Vincent Kompany and his staff can precisely gauge muscle load, detect early signs of strain, and adjust training intensity individually. This proactive monitoring has paid off. Bayern have barely suffered muscle injuries this season, a big contrast to last year’s Champions League collapse when half the core squad was sidelined.
What do you think about this highly data-driven approach to player management?
