Alcaraz still injured? Social videos worry Carlos’ fans about the US Open

The Spaniard has been back training for a few weeks, but in the latest videos his right forearm appeared bandaged, with his elbow protected by a sleeve. A detail that is anything but secondary, especially considering the anticipation of the fans, who are waiting to see him back on the court at the US Open.

Alcaraz and the injury, the conditions

Alcaraz is working to recover his condition and slowly regain his feeling on the pitch, but his arm remains under observation and is still a cause for concern. The risk, therefore, is that the return to the field could still be postponed compared to expectations. At the moment, meanwhile, Carlos is working to get back to hit without force and get used to the extreme conditions of concrete, dealing first and foremost with the heat.
