Rafael Nadal is a man that is really struggling with his injuries.
At the beginning of the year the Spanish Legend lost the Australian Open final for a problem to his back; later Rafa had to miss the entire American Summer because of an issue with his right wrist and the end of the season was compromised by his appendicitis.
Going back now to the first injury (the back), Rafa is undertaking a stem cells treatment. The news was broken by his uncle Toni
“He’s had them for the past six months. It’s stem cell treatment, and doing it properly requires five weeks”.
Unfortunately, Rafa didn’t have a proper treatment to his back during the summer “Because we all thought that he’d play at the US Open, we were more focused on his wrist injury, which looked to be healing well” said Toni.
