Carrington's recovery wing hummed with the low mechanical rhythm of a Wednesday session — stationary bikes lined up facing the glass wall overlooking the training pitches, massage tables spaced between equipment carts, resistance bands hanging in loose rows along the wall. Ice tubs sat prepared for the players who'd gone the full ninety on Tuesday.
Staff moved between stations with tablets and recovery sheets, checking numbers as much as bodies.
Because he'd only played twenty-five minutes, Demien landed in the mixed group rather than the full recovery block — bike work, mobility, light conditioning, a technical finish, and whatever the system decided he'd earned for it.
