Beyond the meager 0-0 that Fulham and Southampton left in London, the image of the match was the special four-fingered glove that Aaron Ramsdale used… and that was reminiscent of other goalkeepers such as Iker Casillas, Donnarumma and Neuer.
In Ramsdale’s case, he used it for a very specific reason: the middle and ring fingers were ‘fused’ so that his left hand was more protected after the injury (November 9 against Wolverhampton) and the operation he underwent. the player due to a fracture (middle finger).
The best known case to date was that of Casillas… who also started using this type of gloves due to an injury. Starting in 2006, the former Real Madrid or Spanish national team goalkeeper asked the company that sponsored him for a special glove. The reason? At the World Cup in Germany he dislocated a finger and wanted to protect that part of his hand more.
