Medical Checks for the start of the new season.

The pre-season is starting, first are the medical tests the players must undergo each season to be sure they are fit to play.


The first 5 Players passed their medicals yesterday in the standard tests taken before they can start pre-season training. These were Ricardo, Pablo Sicilia, Omar Ramos, Iriome González y Rubén Rosquete. Interestingly all local players.

The tests took place in the Clínica Parque, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife from 10 am in the morning. Doctor Juan José Valencia was in charge of the examination with the assistance of his collegue Alejandro de la Rosa, a cardiologist.

The footballers took blood for complete round of tests, a chest x-ray, a chest eco-cardio test, and a resistance test.

Tuesday the players going for tests are Luis García, Sergio Aragoneses, Carlos Bellvís, Aitor Núñez & Ezequiel Luna, and then on Wednesday the following shold be tested: Marc Bertrán, Juanlu Hens, Mikel Alonso, Dani Kome & Nino.
As a side note, Mikel was in Johanesburg with his father to watch his brother win the world cup so I am not surprised he is in Wednesday's group. He predicted the win but thought it would be 2-0 for Spain.
