Bombshell details on Auston Matthews' controversial trip to Munich
Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews' recent visit to Germany to consult with well-known sports doctor Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt has sparked some controversy.
As seen in the Toronto Sun, Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt is very famous for treating elite athletes like Usain Bolt and Christian McCaffrey in the NFL and he is known for his unconventional methods and successes with soft-tissue, knee and potential back injuries.
Auston Matthews has been sidelined since November 3, and while his injury remains undisclosed, the speculation suggests that it could involve his back or wrist.
Auston Matthews gets some help
Accompanied by Leafs team physician Dr. Noah Forman, Auston Matthews' trip to Germany has raised questions and this is particularly because Hans-Wilheim Müller-Wohlfahrt advocates for Actovegin.
This is a controversial but non-banned drug under NHL and IOC regulations.
However, there is no evidence that Actovegin was used in Auston Matthews' treatment for his injury.
The Leafs have thrived without Auston Matthews by posting a 7-2 record but they've struggled offensively at 5-on-5 without him, so we don't know if they will thrive on the long-term without him.
Both GM Brad Treliving and Auston Matthews' agent declined to comment on the details of the injury, but they said that Auston Matthews may return soon
It could possibly be as soon as Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and this could badly hurt the Toronto Maple Leafs' offense.
Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt's reputation as both a "healer" and a controversial figure shows the high stakes for Matthews as he seeks to return to peak form for the rest of the season.
We really hope Auston Matthews comeback soon as the offense need him on the 5-on-5 play
