Overview
- Speaking to GQ Poland, Wojciech Szczesny said training can leave him unable to feel his hands, describing pain that surges from wrist to elbow and intensifies in pre-season workloads.
- He traced the problem to a gym accident at Arsenal that broke both forearms and required metal plates that were never removed.
- He said his first year at Barcelona was financially neutral because his salary matched the sum he repaid Juventus to end his contract early.
- He acknowledged once registering Barcelona’s highest body‑fat reading, saying teammates, including Robert Lewandowski, ribbed him about his physique.
- After coming out of a 2024 retirement to help Barcelona win La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa, he is now under contract through 2026 and serves as backup to Joan García.
