Real Madrid's Martin Odegaard is making use of virtual reality technology in aiding recovery from injury. Using a VR headset, Odegaard is able to view a football pitch and simulate game situations. The Norwegian player posted a video of himself using the technology via social media. The technology was developed by Geir Andrea Pirlo, a professor at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences. Andrea Pirlo used notes on legendary midfielders Jordet and Xavi to hone the VR tool. Odegaard suffered a broken metatarsal while playing for Dutch side Heerenveen during a loan spell last season.
