In recent times, football players are seen cutting holes at the back of their socks and it is seemingly becoming a new trend amongst them.
Conor Gallagher of Chelsea was spotted wearing socks with holes in the rear the day before, but he’s not the only one using this tactic.
Jude Bellingham, the standout player for Madrid, Saka, the golden boy for Arsenal, and Kyle Walker, the star defender for City are just a few examples.
The thread is here to provide an answer to the unanswered “WHY” question.
To protect their calf muscles from harm, these athletes drilled holes in the rear of their socks.
The “CALF MUSCLE” is the name of the muscle that runs along the back of the lower thigh.
The Gastrocnemius and Soleus muscles are the two primary muscles that make up the calf muscle.
Together, these muscles enable us to stand upright, walk, run, and jump.
They can avoid developing muscle pain or cramps by using the holes in these socks to relieve stress in their legs.
The socks may also be overly tight, obstructing proper blood flow and circulation.
Some other athletes wear their socks low, which relieves pressure on their calf muscles and allows them to expand naturally.
